General work visa



General work visa
The General Work Visa is the most common type applied for. In order to obtain this type of visa, the employing company first has to provide substantial proof that the position cannot be filled by a South African citizen. This usually means they have to advertise the position in the local media first, so as to ensure jobs aren't being denied to South African citizens. Secondly, proof has to be submitted of the applicant’s qualifications and/or experience, and their qualifications have to be checked by the relevant South African authority, South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA).
Applicants will also be required to obtain certification from the Department of Labour, stating among other things, that their salary and benefits are commensurate with those paid to South African citizens in similar positions.
Applicants must sign a permanent contract of employment and include this in their application pack to the Department of Home Affairs (DHA), or to the embassy, consulate or diplomatic representative in their home country. Employers must be aware of foreign employees’ visas; if an employee is found to be working illegally, the company is also liable and can face large fines from the DHA.
