This extension does NOT apply if you are waiting for a Permanent Residence Permit outcome. You must keep your temporary visa valid while waiting.

Spread the word!
You can read the directive on our website.

The Department of Home Affairs has announced an important update regarding foreign nationals awaiting outcomes on certain applications. Immigration Directive No. 4 of 2025 provides a further temporary extension for specific groups due to ongoing processing delays.

A work visa provides you with stability and security regarding your legal status and your ability to earn a living. It ensures that you are protected under labour laws, entitled to fair treatment, and eligible for employee benefits.

If you are a skilled professional interested in working in South Africa, a general work or critical skills visa can be a great way to do so.

Contact us if you would like to apply for one of these visas. 📌
