South Africa Work Permit Assessment

There are different categories of work permits:

- General Work Permit
- Exceptional skills
- Intra Company transfer

When applying for the general work permit, proof that no South African citizen can fill the position offered to the foreigner needs to be provided. Conversely, applications for work permits from people who are in a position to contribute to the broadening of South Africa's economic base will be welcomed.

Applicants with special skills or qualifications within a certain category may obtain an exceptional skills permit based solely on these skills or qualifications, even if no employment offer is submitted. They will be granted a 3 month work seekers permit whereby they can look for employment. Once they have found employment they must notify Home Affairs.
