WORKING VISA CONSULTATION

Visa Digital Global Solutions (VDGS) is your trusted partner in navigating the complexities of obtaining a South African work visa. We specialize in assisting foreign nationals in acquiring the necessary visas to work in South Africa, providing expert guidance and support throughout the application process. There are three main categories of South African work visas available, each with specific requirements:

General Work Visa: A South African General Work Visa is issued to foreign nationals who have received a job offer from a South African employer after the employer has unsuccessfully attempted to fill the position locally. The process involves several steps, including interactions with the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) and the Department of Labor.

Intra-Company Transfer Work Visa: This visa is for employees of an international company being transferred to its South African branch, subsidiary, or affiliate. The applicant must demonstrate an affiliation between the local and foreign companies and have an employment contract with the foreign company valid for at least six months prior to applying. The visa is valid for up to four years.

Critical Skills Work Visa: This visa is granted to individuals possessing professional skills or expertise deemed critical by the Minister of Home Affairs. The required skills are listed annually in the Government Gazette. This visa does not require applicants to secure employment before applying.
