A Corporate Visa is a temporary work authorisation granted not to a foreign employee, but to a corporate entity (e.g. a mine) to employ a pre-determined number of skilled/semi-skilled/unskilled workers.

This visa enables a corporate applicant to employ a large number of foreign nationals for a specific period.  A Corporate Visa is granted subject to an assessment by the Department of the need by the corporate applicant to employ foreigners, and after taking into consideration inputs from the Department of Labour.
