Work Permits & Visas in South Africa
End-to-end facilitation of South African work permits and visas for foreign nationals, employers and investors — from first assessment through to submission and follow-up.
What We Facilitate
General & Critical Skills Work Permits
Employer-side and employee-side applications, including SAQA evaluations, professional body registrations and Department of Employment and Labour compliance.
Business & Investor Visas
For foreign nationals establishing or investing in a South African business, including commercial feasibility assessment support and the statutory capital requirements.
Permit Waivers & Exemptions
Formal applications to waive specific statutory requirements — such as labour certificates or minimum investment thresholds — where legitimate commercial or socio-economic grounds exist.
Financially Independent Permit (FIP)
A direct pathway to permanent residence for high-net-worth applicants who meet the statutory net-worth requirement — see the FIP and alternative pathways in our FAQ.
How the Process Works
• Consultation & Assessment — we map out exactly what applies to you (nationality, employer, role, and current status all matter) before any documentation work begins. The fee is credited toward your next step if you proceed with us.
• Documentation & preparation — we prepare and check your submission so it isn't stalled by incomplete or incorrectly formatted paperwork, which is where most delays actually originate.
• Submission & follow-up — we lodge the application and follow up on delays outside our control at no extra charge.
• Outcome — where a rejection was our error, we correct it at no cost to you. We can redo a submission, though consultation and documentation fees already paid are non-refundable.
Ready to assess your options?
Every case starts with a Consultation & Assessment, so we can confirm exactly what applies to you before any documentation work begins. Still need detail? See our work permits & visas FAQ, or talk to us about business facilitation and aftercare once your permit is in place.
