Inter Company Transfer Visa

An intra-company transfer work Visa may be issued by the Department to a foreigner who is employed abroad by a business operating in the Republic in a branch, subsidiary or affiliate relationship and who by reason of his or her employment is required to conduct work in the Republic.

An important factor is that the applicant has to have been employed with the company abroad for a period of not less than 6 months.

The Intra company transfer is not designed to be a long term visa. The idea is to bring in foreign workers employed by the company abroad with a branch or subsidiary branch here in South Africa; they work or conduct training for four years, and then return home.

This Visa does not require the hassle of proving the company could not find suitable applicants and it does not require the hassle of verifying an applicant’s formal qualifications. It is based purely on employment. If you are a company that needs to transfer in foreign employers, please contact us and we will make this go as smoothly as possible.
It is important to note that this category of work Visa cannot be granted for more than four (4) years and this type of Visa is not extendable.

To be an “undesirable person” and placed on the V-List, the foreigner must fall into one of the following categories:
• Is or is likely to become a public charge;
• Identified as such by the Minister of Home Affairs;
• Who has been judicially declared incompetent;
• An unrehabilitated insolvent;
• Who has been ordered to depart in terms of the Immigration Act;
• A fugitive of justice;
• Has previous criminal convictions without the option of a fine for conduct which would be an offence in South Africa;
• Has overstayed after the expiry of their visa.

The Immigration Act requires that the affected foreigner is physically “declared” an undesirable person by being handed a “declaration of undesirability” by an immigration official. This often happens when a foreigner overstays his or her visa and departs through a South African port of entry. The immigration official will complete the declaration and hand it to the affected person, stipulating the number of days the person has overstayed: any overstay of up to 30 days renders the person banned from returning to South Africa for one year, and any overstay of 30 days or longer prohibits the person from returning to South Africa for five years.

The only way the affected foreigner may have the grounds of undesirability waived and his or her restrictions removed from the V-List, is to apply to the Minister of Home Affairs, also on the basis of “good cause”. This is effectively an appeal against the undesirability status. Often these appeals are complex and most often require the assistance of a professional.

The Critical Skills Visa South Africa is for skilled workers whose occupation is on the Critical Skills Visa List for South Africa. This list reflects the occupations that are in demand in South Africa.

The newly published "Skills or qualifications determined to be critical for the Republic of South Africa in relation to an application for a Critical Skills Visa or Permanent Residence Visa"

This category of work visa may be issued to an applicant who falls within a specific professional category or specific occupational class determined by the Minister by notice in the Government Gazette. This is done after consultation with the Minister of Labour and the Minister of Trade and Industry.

If an applicant falls within one of the professional categories listed on the critical skills list and also has the appropriate post qualification working experience in that profession then such applicant may qualify to apply for this category of work Visa.

The applicant also needs to where applicable register with the relevant South African professional accreditation body regulating that industry as stipulated by Minister of Home Affairs. Such body must also confirm the applicant’s skills, qualifications and working experience.

Furthermore, such applicant’s qualifications need to be evaluated relevant to a South African level. An applicant for a Critical Skills Visa may enter South Africa on such visa without having secured a job offer first. It is, however, required of the applicant to confirm employment with the Department of Home Affairs within a period of one (1) year upon arrival in South Africa, failing which, the Visa would automatically lapse.

The Critical Skills Work Visa is tied to an individual and not to an employer so under this Visa a person can leave from one employer to the next without obtaining a new work Visa.

• Against whom a warrant is outstanding or a conviction has been secured in South Africa or in any foreign country in respect of genocide, terrorism, human smuggling, trafficking in persons, murder, torture, drug-related charges, money laundering or kidnapping;
• Previously deported and not rehabilitated by the Department of Home Affairs;
• Who is or has been a member of an organization advocating the practice of racial hatred, social violence, or which utilizes crime or terrorism to pursue its ends;
• Found in possession of a fraudulent visa, passport, permanent residence permit or identification document.

Prohibited persons do not have to be “declared” as such. Often a foreigner finds that he or she simply cannot re-enter South Africa at a land border, or at a foreign port of embarkation. The reason for such restriction of entry could be that the foreigner’s identity details have been placed on the so-called “V-List” (“Visa Restricted” List) of the Department of Home Affairs.

What may also occur is that the foreigner has applied, within South Africa, for a temporary residence visa or a permanent residence permit and such application may be rejected because the DHA is of the view that a specific document or visa submitted by the applicant in his or her application, or in any past application, is “fraudulent” or has failed to be verified by the DHA.

The DHA may reject a visa or permit application on the basis of the applicant’s foreign or South African police record. Frequently while the applicant has never been convicted of the offences identified for prohibition purposes, the DHA may proceed to V-List such individual merely on the basis of its view that an ordinary “drunken-driving” conviction may render the applicant a person “not of good and sound character”. V-listing does occur on the basis of bureaucratic error.

The only remedy for a prohibited person is to apply to the Director-General of the DHA to declare him or her to be a “non-prohibited” person. Even though the Immigration Act merely requires a demonstration of “good cause” to have the DG lift the prohibition and remove his or her details from the V-List, DHA policy demands far more than “good cause” to lift the prohibition. Some of these applications are complex and technical and professional expertise is often well advised.
