During Xpatweb’s Global Mobility Breakfast event, Mr. Phindiwe Mbhele (Acting Chief Director: Permits at the Department of Home Affairs) shed some light on the current application backlog and the Department’s innovative initiatives to combat future backlogs.
Our upcoming Virtual Immigration Workshop, with guest speaker Advocate Deon Erasmus, will focus on the Department’s efforts on decreasing the backlog, the adjusted Critical Skills list and a multitude of the complexities surrounding the legislative provisions pertaining to Work Visas, with a specific emphasis on Intra-Company Transfers Work Visas.
Topics of discussion will include the relevant Sections of the Immigration Act and accompanying Immigration Regulations that govern the application and adjudication process of Intra-Company Transfer Work Visas.
Whether you are an individual applying for a South African Work Visa or a corporate entity seeking to employ qualified foreign nationals, this event promises to equip you with a better understanding of the regulatory framework pertaining to work visas.
