A conversation we had this week with a company director:
"We don't need international skills right now, so we'll skip the TES application."
Our response was simple:
TES is not only about today. It's about being prepared for tomorrow.
Many businesses only realize they need a foreign specialist, engineer, project manager, technician, or executive when a project is already delayed, a contract has been awarded, or a critical vacancy remains unfilled.
By then, the opportunity to position the business may have already passed.
With the TES Phase II application window closing on 4 September 2026, companies should be asking:
❓ What skills might we need in the next 2–3 years?
❓ Are we prepared for future growth?
❓ Can our current workforce support expansion plans?
The most successful businesses plan ahead.

TES Phase II closes on 4 September 2026.🚨
The question is not whether your business can hire international talent tomorrow.
The question is whether you are positioning your business today to access the skills you may need in the future.
Businesses that miss the TES application window may lose the opportunity to benefit from a streamlined immigration process when recruiting critical and scarce skills.
Don't wait until the last minute.

A successful TES application requires more than meeting the deadline. The correct pathway, scorecard, supporting documents, and compliance position all play a role in the assessment process.
Don't leave your application until the final days.

Which Work Visa Is Right for You?

South Africa offers different work visa options depending on your circumstances.
• Critical Skills Visa For professionals whose occupations appear on South Africa's Critical Skills List. Under the current points-based system, qualifying occupations on the Critical Skills List can meet the points threshold required for a Critical Skills Work Visa, subject to meeting all other prescribed requirements.

• General Work Visa For foreign professionals who have secured employment in South Africa and meet the requirements of the new points-based system, which considers factors such as qualifications, work experience, salary, language proficiency and Trusted Employer status.

• Intra-Company Transfer Visa Designed for multinational companies transferring existing employees from a foreign office to a South African branch, subsidiary or affiliate. These visas are issued for a period of up to four years and are not renewable.

The right visa category can make all the difference to the success of your immigration journey.

The TES deadline is approaching, but that's not the real risk.

The real risk is doing nothing.

Many companies will only realise they needed the Trusted Employer Scheme when:

• A critical project is delayed
• A key employee's visa is nearing expiry
• A specialist position remains vacant for months
• Expansion plans are put on hold due to skills shortages

By then, the opportunity to prepare may have passed.

The Trusted Employer Scheme was introduced to help qualifying employers access critical foreign skills through a more efficient immigration process.

The question is not whether your company employs foreign talent today.

The question is:

Will your business need specialised skills tomorrow?

The companies that plan ahead will have options.

The companies that wait for a crisis will have obstacles.

⏳ TES Phase II Expressions of Interest close on 4 September 2026.

If your organisation is considering growth, expansion, specialised recruitment, or retaining key foreign employees, now is the time to assess whether you qualify.

For your own Information.....

On 12 August 2026, President Cyril Ramaphosa officially launched South Africa's new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system at O.R. Tambo International Airport.
This milestone marks a major digital overhaul spearheaded by the Department of Home Affairs to automate tourist visa and border control processes.The system leverages advanced technology to achieve several critical improvements:
⚙️ Core Technical FeaturesAI and Machine Learning:
Employs predictive technology to screen travellers rapidly and eliminate manual processing inefficiencies.
Biometric Verification: Cross-references biometric data to securely verify the identities of incoming visitors.Upgraded Infrastructure: Integrates with the new Electronic Movement Control System (eMCS 2.0) for airtight border tracking.Mobile-Friendly Applications: Allows prospective travellers to apply and receive real-time updates directly on mobile devices.
📈 Strategic Goals and RolloutDrastic Time Reductions: Live processing demonstrations clocked inbound travellers completing entry protocols in under one minute.Phased Expansion: The ETA went through an initial pilot program during South Africa's G20 presidency events. It is rolling out to cover tourist and short-term business visits under 90 days before eventually replacing all traditional paper visa pathways.Economic Boost: The platform aims to stimulate local economic growth by making the country a highly competitive hub for tourism, skilled talent, and corporate investment.Zero Corruption Policy: Transitioning to a secure, end-to-end digital model removes physical touchpoints, drastically cutting down opportunities for documentation fraud.
