South Africa is a country that lies on the southernmost tip of the African continent. It is also known to be the Republic of South Africa which has been a newly developing country in the world. South Africa is one of the most rapidly growing countries in the world. With more progressive laws, more and more qualified immigrants are also paving their way to establish themselves in the newfound improved land. The South African Government has recognized areas where skilled and qualified workers are at high demand. The government realizes that skills are mandatory to enhance the growth of the country as well as are beneficial for the economic growth of the country. So the government of South Africa has introduced many schemes such as the South Africa Critical Skills Visa (also known as South Africa Work Visa) to invite eligible workers around the globe to work for their nation.
A critical visa permit falls under that visa scheme that allows individuals to live and work in South Africa on a temporary basis for a period of up to 5 years. This visa is basically granted to experienced and qualified applicants that are recognized on the basis of the skilled occupation list of the South African government. The applicant does not need any job offer to apply for the visa. This visa is for a duration of 1 year initially wherein the applicant can search for a job in that time span. On request and with proper documents, the applicant can also extend the validity period of the visa. This visa is also a way to apply for permanent residency if certain conditions are met.
This visa is intended for professionals whose occupations are on the Critical Shortage Occupation List. This is a kind of job seeker visa that allows the applicant to stay in South Africa and search for jobs. The visa converts to a work permit once the applicant has secured a job offer letter from an employer in South Africa.
