Why having the right immigration partner is vital to your company?
South African immigration is regulated by the Immigration Act 13 of 2002 as amended in 2007 and 2011 which came into effect on the 26th of May 2014.
Over the years, as foreign business interest in South Africa has increased, many South African and/or foreign companies based in South Africa have required staff to fill certain skills shortages in South Africa or fulfil corporate requirements .
There are many scenarios where corporates are required to navigate immigration requirements to achieve short or long term human resources issues. They may need foreign employees for short term projects or for a longer period.
As with any approach to immigration to South Africa it is very important to know what is required and what processes and timeframes are involved to effectively plan any corporate immigration solution.

As the Immigration rules become complex globally with changes and newer restrictions, we ensure that our advice covers more than an outline of options.
