Working in South Africa
It is our policy to only assist you to relocate to South Africa if you have every intention to meet all the relevant immigration laws and intend to work on the most appropriate work visa.

To work in South Africa in a permanent position you need to meet one of the following conditions:

  • have South African citizenship
  • have South African permanent residence
  • have a spouse meeting any of the above conditions, although this is not automatic
  • have a valid work permit
  • have a quota visa

A work permit has to be applied for by an Employer on the basis that you have the skills to do the designated job and that the employer has made every effort to find a suitably skilled South African but has been unable to find one.

In 2006 the government introduced the "Quota Visa" which enables certain categories of skilled workers to enter the country and actively seek employment.
