According to the South African Immigration Act, the applicant for a General Work Permit has to provide a conditional offer of employment from a South African based employer, as well as documentation, confirming that the employer has fully endeavored to employ South African citizens or residents. Employees who are still in the process of sourcing employment have to revert to the option of applying for a Quota Work Permit.

The application needs to include a confirmation that the foreigner possesses the necessary qualifications, as certified by the South African Qualification Authority (SAQA) and confirmation of the relevant work experience of the applicant.

Furthermore an original advertisement in respect of the vacant position from the national printed media shall be attached to the application. Such advertisement must meet certain requirements stipulated by the Act. You are most welcome to contact us for further information in this respect.
