If you're the spouse or life partner of a South African Business Visa holder, the Immigration Act allows you to apply for authorisation to work in that business - but it's not automatic!
Here's how it works:
- You must hold a valid Spousal or Life Partner Temporary Residence Visa.
- Apply to Home Affairs to add work rights linked specifically to your partner's business.
- The authorisation will state you can only work for that business, not elsewhere.
- No need for a separate work visa - but you can't just “start working” without approval.
Tip: Get the conditions endorsed in writing before you begin. This protects you from compliance issues during inspections.
Working without proper authorisation can put your visa - and the business - at risk.
