REFUGEES AND ASYLUM SEEKERS PERMIT  Change To Temporary Residence

Major News and hope : We are one of the few organisations getting Emptions & waivers approved !!!!

Apply Now for Temporary and Permanent Residence even with EXPIRED LOCKDOWN PERMITS

The Constitutional Court in November last year handed down a judgement in the Ahmed matter as well as a Court Order opening the door for Asylum Seekers and Refugees to apply to change their status to that of a mainstream Visa under The Immigration Act.
The Department has issued a Directive empowering the VFS offices (representing Home Affairs ) elsewhere to take in any application for a change of status and any waiver that may be required from an Asylum Seeker Temporary Visa or Formal Recognition Permit.
Further, it is important to note that not just any holder of an Asylum Seeker Temporary Visa or Formal Recognition of Refugee Status can apply for either a Temporary or Permanent Residence. They would first
have to qualify in the applicable category of a mainstream visa under the Immigration Act,
Under the new rules they don’t have to cancel their asylum or refugee status and can change to any visa class if they qualify from within

Applying for Critical Skills Work Visa for South Africa

Applying for Critical Skills Work Visa for South Africa

The critical skills work visa offers those applicants who practice within designated professions and who have 5 years appropriate post qualification experience, the opportunity to apply immediately for permanent residency.

If you are seeking to make an application under the critical skills category but do not possess 5 years post qualification experience please see here for more details on the critical skills work visa.

Below we discuss how to go about applying for a critical skills work visa.

Before submitting your application

Assessing whether you qualify for a critical skills work visa is the first step. The critical skills work visa has a number of criteria that includes:

• Your qualification.
• Your occupation.
• Your years of experience.
• Your registration with the appropriate professional bodies.

You can view the critical skills list on our website www.samigration.com

Preparing your application for a critical skills work visa

• You will need to complete the permanent residency application form and pay the applicable application fee.
• Submit a copy of your unabridged birth certificate.
• Undertake biometrics.
• Submit a yellow fever vaccination certificate where applicable.
• Provide police clearance certificates for all countries you have stayed in for in excess of 12 months since 18.
• Submit medical and radiological reports.
• Submit a marriage certificate where appropriate.
• Include unabridged birth certificates in respect of each dependent child.
• Proof that the applicant falls within the critical skills category.
• A certificate of registration with the professional body.

• Testimonials from previous employers and a comprehensive curriculum vitae.
• A letter of motivation indicating that the critical skills possessed by the applicant will
  be to the benefit of the South African environment in which the person intends to
  operate and which relates to the critical skill in question.

Submitting your application for a critical skills visa

It is important to note that when applying for a critical skills work visa this can only be done in South Africa if you are on an appropriate visa. As an example, if you are an existing critical skills work visa holder you may apply for permanent residence in South Africa. It is always best to seek professional guidance on this matter as permanent residence applications take some time (up to 24 months) and where you submit your application can have far reaching consequences.
