I'm not a critical skill holder but started processing on SAQA ,
With what I'm seeing here, I guess you have been given the Critical skill Visa without gaining employment in SA and so they require you to get a job within 12 months of your stay and report to the DHA with proofs cos u might need to leave their country if you don't secure a job in time frame of 12 months. My understanding though.


And please can you share the documents you presented for the critical skill and how long it took for you to be given the Visa upon application.

Thanks

Well, there are general requirements however when it comes to a critical skills work permit which is totally different from General Work permit, you need to be sure the skill you have is actually regarded as a critical skill in South Africa. Now apart from SAQA depending on the skill requirements vary but you must be a member of a SAQA recognized South African professional body relevant to that occupation and of course, th they will issue you documentation including a critical skill confirmation letter. You may wish to seek the service of the firm providing critical skill support service in Nigeria. i hope this helps.

HI Guys..

Anyone on Critical Skills Visa to help with this Query.

My Visa states that I should report to DHA with proof of Employment within 12 Months. Please How dis you go about this if you have gone through it. You response is Golden please.

Thanks

Well, Congratulations Slickruler on your critical skills work visa permit (CSWVP). What that requirement basically says is that you are expected to get employment within twelve months of the issuance of your CSWVP. So that does not stop you from travelling to SA. Its a simple notification that you are now employed. However, I know that there is a particular organization in Lagos that actually provide CSWVP support services.
