Thank you bro.Am also in IT too.

prodam:


The first step is to get evaluated by SAQA, you present some documents and pay the fee. Please check the website for more details and registration on the portal.

Professional body membership comes after the above, because SAQA is a part of the requirement. Depending on your profession, you can get more info about joining on the website. As for me in the IT industry, I can choose to join IITPSA or ICITP.

I hope this helps

Hello House.

I am in the process of applying for Critical Skills Visa for South Africa but am concerned about the proof of fund part. I have done the following;

1. SAQA
2. IIPTSA
3. Medicals
4. Yellow card

Can I use 400k as a proof of fund for the application?

Would I get a 5years work permit without an employer?

I intend applying in few days time. Please kindly help out.

Thanks

@wety99. Kindly assist with my question.

Thanks

Can I use 400k as a proof of fund for the application? - Yes this should be sufficient for the application.

Would I get a 5years work permit without an employer? Quite unlikely. You most likely will be granted 1year CSV without confirmed employment.

Anybody got an update on this Visa issuance delay by SA high commission? Anybody got a CSV in November yet?

Has anyone gotten (or knows someone who has gotten) a CSV in Nigeria in the past month please?
