A Business Plan is a mandatory requirement for a South African Business Visa application. Below is a very detailed explanation of why it’s needed, what it must include, and how it should be structured to meet Department of Home Affairs (DHA) standards.

1. Is a Business Plan Required for a South African Business Visa?
✅ Yes, a comprehensive business plan must be submitted with your visa application.
• The DHA requires it to assess whether your business will be viable, sustainable, and beneficial to South Africa’s economy.
• Without a properly structured business plan, your application will likely be rejected.

2. Purpose of the Business Plan in the Visa Application
The business plan helps the DHA evaluate:
✔ Feasibility – Is your business realistic and well-planned?
✔ Economic Contribution – Will it create jobs for South Africans?
✔ Financial Viability – Do you have sufficient capital and revenue projections?
✔ Compliance – Does it meet investment requirements (ZAR 5 million or ZAR 2.5 million if waived)?

3. Detailed Structure of the Business Plan for a SA Business Visa
Your business plan must include the following sections:
Section 1: Executive Summary
• Brief overview of the business (name, type, location).
• Amount of investment (ZAR 5m / ZAR 2.5m if waived).
• Number of jobs to be created (minimum 60% South African employees).

Section 2: Business Description
• Legal structure (Pty Ltd, sole proprietorship, etc.).
• Industry sector (e.g., manufacturing, IT, agriculture).
• Business objectives and mission statement.

Section 3: Market Research & Analysis
• Target market (who will buy your product/service?).
• Competitor analysis (existing businesses in the same sector).
• Demand for your product/service in South Africa.

Section 4: Operational Plan
• Business location (lease agreement or property ownership proof).
• Equipment and technology needed.
• Suppliers and logistics.

Section 5: Financial Plan (Most Critical for DHA)
• Startup costs (breakdown of how the ZAR 5m / ZAR 2.5m will be spent).
• Projected revenue & expenses (3–5 years).
• Cash flow forecasts (monthly/annual).
• Funding sources (proof of available capital).

Section 6: Job Creation & Skills Development
• Number of South African citizens to be employed.
• Job roles and salaries.
• Training plans (if applicable).

Section 7: Risk Analysis & Mitigation
• Potential risks (economic, regulatory, competition).
• Strategies to overcome challenges.

Section 8: Supporting Documents
• Company registration documents (if already registered).
• Bank statements (proof of available funds).
• Tax clearance certificates (if applicable).
• Lease agreements or property documents.

4. Who Should Prepare the Business Plan?
• You can draft it yourself if you have business experience.
• Recommended: Hire a South African business consultant or accountant familiar with DHA requirements.
• The plan must be professional, realistic, and well-researched.

5. Common Reasons for Business Visa Rejections Due to Business Plan Issues
❌ Incomplete financial projections (no clear breakdown of the ZAR 5m investment).
❌ Unrealistic job creation claims (e.g., promising 50 jobs with insufficient capital).
❌ No market research (failing to prove demand for the business).
❌ Copy-paste templates (DHA officers can spot generic plans).

6. Submission & Approval Process
1. Submit the business plan with your visa application at VFS Global or a South African embassy.
2. DHA reviews the plan for feasibility and compliance.
3. Possible interview – You may be asked to explain aspects of your business.
4. Approval/Rejection – If approved, you must fulfill the investment within 24 months.

7. Can I Modify the Business Plan After Visa Approval?
• Minor changes are allowed, but major shifts (e.g., switching industries) may require notifying DHA.
• You must still meet the investment and job creation commitments.

Final Checklist for a Strong Business Plan
✔ Clear financial breakdown (ZAR 5m / ZAR 2.5m investment).
✔ Realistic job creation (60% South African employees).
✔ Market research (proof of demand).
✔ Professional formatting (no grammatical errors).
✔ Supporting documents (bank statements, company registration).

Home Affairs schemes targeting skilled foreign workers and tourism businesses have reaped rewards for employers.
Businesses are using recent Department of Home Affairs (DHA) innovations to recruit the best foreign talent.
Minister of Home Affairs Leon Schreiber listed his department’s successes since taking over the portfolio last year as he presented his budget for the upcoming financial year.
The department introduced a host of measures last year, including the ability for companies to register as priority recruiters of foreign employees.

Engineers wanted
The Trusted Employer Scheme (TES) was introduced following a review of South Africa’s work visa adjudications that found the system to have an “unpredictable nature”.

Businesses looking to employ skilled foreign workers are able to apply to the DHA for recognition as a trusted employer to access a streamlined path to recruitment.
The criteria for approval include a track record of compliance with labour and tax regulations. Those approved are rewarded with reduced requirements for a predetermined number of visa applications.

Schrieber said on Thursday that one company had used the scheme to recruit 246 software engineers and Eskom had recruited 147 nuclear engineers to work at Koeberg.

The minister did not reveal the total number of skilled foreign workers to have recently been given a TES visa, but confirmed 71 companies were TES-approved.

Home Affairs winning
A similar programme exists for tourism companies called the Truster Tour Operator Scheme (TTOS).
Schreiber boasted that 65 tour operators were approved during phase one of the programme, with 45 more having been approved during phase two.
This has resulted in the creation of at least 1 200 jobs in the sector, and South Africa has welcomed roughly 17 000 tourists from China and India alone since

February through TTOS businesses.
At the other end of the scale, DHA have facilitated the deportation of 46 000 foreign nationals.
“[That is] the highest figure in more than five years and more than countries like France and Germany combined,” said Schreiber.
Additionally, illegal border crossing detections have increased 215% thanks to drone and body camera technology deployed at the border.

R11 billion budget
Other successes include the clearing of a backlog of 300 000 visa applications and the issuing of 3.6 million smart IDs — the most used in a financial year.
Schreiber announced he was tabling an R11 billion budget, an increase of over R300 million for each of the next three years.
The Border Management Authority will receive R5.5 billion over the next three years.
“Home Affairs is on a transformative journey. If we can make Home Affairs work, so too can South Africa work,”
“If this is what Home Affairs could do in just one year, imagine what we can do in five,” beamed the minister

A Relative's Visa may be issued by the Department to a foreigner who is a member of the immediate family of a citizen or a resident, providing that such citizen or resident provides the prescribed financial assurances.

This only applies to first level of kinship i.e: Brother, Sister, Mother, Father.

The period of validity of the Visa shall be determined by the financial assurance provided, but will not exceed a period of 24 months at a time. A relative Visa issued to a relationship shall lapse upon the dissolution of the relationship relationship and the Department may at any time satisfy itself that a good faith relationship relationship exists and or continues to exist.

Let SA Migration Intl handle your entire case from filling out the documentation to processing the application.

Do you have a Zimbabwean ZEP Permit - Need to Change ?

Check all information directly with VFS / DHA or a registered immigration practitioner or immigration lawyer this circulating in your community , it is not factually correct , this is for ZEP holders . If you are unskilled Department of Labour will definitely not grant a waiver , get professional advice from a registered immigration practitioner

Good evening dear members. We now have Immigration Directive 12 of 2021. I would like to encourage all of you without or with professional qualifications etc who would want to apply for a General Work permit later to apply for a Waiver within the next 9 days and Department of Home Affairs have said they will process your waivers applications before 31 March 2022. If your waiver applications is successful and granted, you will be able to apply for a General Work Permit without a need to have documentations required like certificates, Saqa documentation, police clearance, newspaper adverts etc. They will only then need your employers letter, valid passport and covid vaccination certificate to apply for the General Work Permit when your waiver applications is successful.

What is a Waiver?

It is an application made in South Africa and adjudicated by the Department of Home Affairs. In order to apply for a waiver the applicant must be in possession of a valid refugee or immigration status (eg a valid ZEP Permit and not an expired one).
The minister yesterday issues Directive 12 of 2021 and on (a) he said he will need until 31 March 2022 to make outcomes for all Waivers applied for. And anyone who doesn't have a Waiver or General Work Permit Application by 1 April 2022 will be described as "undesirable" and will have to to 31 December 2022 to pack bags and kids and return to Zimbabwe without being formally charged at the border or legal port of exit to avoid being deported
