SOUTH AFRICA CRITICAL SKILLS WORK PERMIT VISA PROCESS FLOW
The South Africa Critical Skills Work Visa is aimed at skilled professionals whose occupation is on the critical shortage occupation list. It allows workers holding this visa to visit South Africa and search for a job. Once the applicant has found a job, he or she can then convert it to a work permit. Key features of the South Africa Critical Skills Work Visa are:
• An applicant can enter South Africa without a job offer
• Visa is based on skills and qualification as per the Critical Skills list defined by the South Africa Department of Home Affairs

• Visa is initially granted for 12 months and is extendable as per the Authority
