Immigration Update: South African Remote Work Visa

Join us to explore the legal framework and eligibility requirements for Remote Work Visas, tailored to both, attract and support foreigners.

As the world embraces the future of work, remote work has become a game-changer for businesses, offering greater flexibility and enabling talent mobility. Digital nomads are increasingly considering South Africa as a prime destination.

The introduction of Remote Work Visas in several countries, including South Africa, presents unique opportunities to attract foreigners and boost tourism and economy. This visa allows applicants to live and work in South Africa for up to 36 months.
