*_CORRECTION OF ERROR_*: You DO NOT need 5 years work experience to get the Critical Skills Visa... HOWEVER, you do need post qualification work experience AND references from your previous industry employers to qualify for the Critical Skills Visa. It is up to your professional body to evaluate your qualifications, work experiences, and references to determine whether you have the required work experience to qualify for the Critical Skills Visa... it does not have to be 5 years of work experience, but you do need work experience.... and you also need an actual job offer from an S.A company. Advice to foreign students, try to start working while you are studying ( internships, graduate programs, etc. )... This will make it easier for you to apply for the Critical Skills Visa after you graduate... and start applying for jobs both in S.A and your home country as soon as you start your final year. Job hunting is a very long, frustrating and tedious process as a foreign student due to the visa requirements from most employers so the sooner you start, the better.
Hey Tino. Really interesting what's happening in the country. I think a big reason for this is that we have a huge graduate unemployment problem. In my industry of construction, there are a lot of civil eng grads unemployed so you can understand the frustration of seeing govt putting civil engineering on a critical skills list, when we literally have thousands of unemployed South African civil engineering graduates who can't find work. It's like govt saying, "we need more engineers from outside", but the ones inside the country are sitting at home with these really hard to obtain STEM degrees. Skilled foreigners, particularly some of our classmates, are of course the biggest losers with the new changes.
You raise a good point Andile. The high youth unemployment rate has been a problem for a while now and if you couple this with the current political climate, it likely put a lot of pressure on the government to reduce the competition for their own citizens when it comes to job hunting. If only there was a solution that could benefit everyone but it is what it is.
Good day, Tino. Thank you for this very informative video. We aim to keep our clients and partners well-informed of changes within Africa's immigration framework and we're happy to see content creators in the sector doing the same.
As African, it is easy for me to move to Europe and Asia than South Africa, lol. Even the plane ticket from my country Angola to Portugal sometimes is cheaper than the plane ticket to South Africa. Eventhough South Africa is close to Angola and was on the top of my list as African professional, the amount of requirements they are demanding is discouraging. I could put that same effort, or less, to move to a real first world country, especially those that want young professionals.
Right! flights from Cape Town to London cost the same as Cape Town to Zanzibar.... like how is that a thing? I look forward to the day travel within Africa becomes affordable... and a lot of 1st world countries have more favourable requirements for young people especially foreigners that study in their countries... but it is what it is.
@@thabangtladi8057 Control your xenophobic ego, you are not all of that! For me, every country outside of my country is just name in a list, we give a bit more consideration when it is an African country, but still a name in list.
@@FabioTheGreat You should start by 1st controlling your tribalism ego and do away with your migration attitude and stop crying for other people's countries before telling me about xenophobic ego...im proudly xenophobic and i dont want animals in my country and you poor failed nations you cant change how we feel about you being in our country mxm sies
I'm one of those people that got in with the old list, now it sucks that my skill is gone as well as the PR waiver, my visa length doesn't even cover 5 years. So, like you said, I guess it's abroad from here. Sad I really wanted to live permanently in SA.
This doesn't sound right, they are basically telling all the graduates from South Africa who are not South Africans to take all their skills and potential taxes to European countries. This is not about protecting jobs for South Africans, it's about scoring cheap political points for the 2024 elections.
Yep SA is literally exporting skilled labour. The powers that be need to create opportunities for everyone it will literally be a win-win for all involved.
When a previously critical skill is no longer a critical skill, then it's not anymore. Why would a sane government deprive it's citizens a critical skill, just to score points? You are not making sense.
The prerequisite for having a job offer really hit me hard. I have applied for positions but its proving to be very difficult for employers to consider me before i have a visa (chicken and an egg problem). I am now looking at UK , Ireland and Canada.
I have heard of the Chicken and Egg problem with SA work visa's since I was in high school.. I doubt they are willing to do anything about it at this point.
@@Abdullah-vg1uc had to abandon my quest to apply to South Africa. There are taking their sweet time to process the papers and considering the employer would want you to start ASAP. Its proving to be quite difficult.
Shout out to the video I was planning to apply at the end of February this year and then the minister slapped that waiver away. Absolutely disappointed SA is a country I love and want it do well so badly. I thought I could help contribute to it but clearly the ruling party is riding on the anti-african immigration movement to gain some political points for 2024. There is an illegal immigration problem yes but making it harder to legally immigrate won't solve the problem🥲. Rant done but we move I guess us international graduates have to broaden our horizons it's not the end of the world at the end of the day. Thanks fir the video Tino
Haha thank you I've been experimenting with 4K lately. Shame man the announcements really threw a spanner in a lot of peoples' plans. Some heads up would have been nice given that the stopped accepting applications for 2 years.
From different country but.. our company employed a guy working remote.. until he had his work experience covered. Partly by the remote work for our company, then he got the visa. Not totally sure how he got that deal. But it worked :-)
I was actually thinking about this as a great work around the work experience issue. It's now very common to get remote/WFH jobs in I.T and I have come across many South African companies also hiring remote workers. I wonder how open they are to hiring foreign skills and have them work from their home countries until they qualify for the visa.
@@waipona940 😂😂😂😂😂 do you see the comments mara? The arrogance of thinking that South Africans automatically don't qualify for critical skills and that those jobs are only reserved for them 🤦🏾
I feel like this will have a negative effect on the economy . I understand the idea behind this but also making it harder for skilled foreigners to enter the country may help some native workers in the stem field but unskilled migrants should be more of the target here. Most of south Africa's pop is unskilled so that where the competition matters
Yeah it's very unfortunate but there shouldn't be need to fight over low wage jobs in the first place. The powers that be should make a plan to improve education in the country and upskill their citizens so they can access better opportunities.
Critical skills does not necessariliy mean it is not available locally, it could also be that the skill is important to national agenda hence the need to attract the best from all over the world. I personally couldn't name 1 field were there is a shortage of qualified locals I RSA, look at what government has done in health sciences, yet not too long ago it was argued that there's a skills shortage in that area. I also notice that the word skills is used to throw wool over people's faces because it is very broad.
@@trying2adult true, there shouldn't be a need to fight for lowly paying jobs. If only foreigners could understand that such lowly jobs should be exclusively left to locals.
@@trying2adult just a bit of clarity, did you mention that WITH a critical skills visa, you still need some kind of work experience, and a job offer to he accepted, or the work experience is a grey area
@@mukundichitamba1594 Hey sorry I probably contributed to that grey-ness for work experience... check out my pinned comment I clarified the work experience thing when it comes to graduates.
Thank you for sharing this great information!! If people have critical skills visa, are they allow to apply permanent residence?? Please let me know if you know!!😊
Thanks for the video man. So does the 5 years work experience requirement go hand in hand with the job offer requirement? i.e. if as a fresh grad you do manage to get a work offer without the experience, can you still apply for the critical skills visa? And also, if you have an existing critical skills, you have to wait 5 years before applying for PR right?
Let's start with Permanent Residency. There are different types of Permanent Residency right; one of those is a Critical Skills Permanent Residency ( let's call it CS-PR ) where you can get PR if you have a critical skill. To qualify for this CS-PR, you need 5 years of work experience in the critical skill and this can be from any country ( doesn't have to be South Africa ).... So technically, you can be a foreigner who grew up in Zim, studied Electrical Engineering in Zim, and then you worked for ZESA in Zim for 5 years... you can apply for the CS-PR without having to first work in SA for 5 years. However, it takes a very long time for the PR to get processed especially if you apply from outside S.A. so people usually get the Critical Skills Visa first ( which can take a few weeks to a few months depending on your home country ) ... and then once they are in SA on the CSV, they can then apply for the CS-PR... They don't have to wait for 5 years on the CSV to qualify for the CS-PR. ... People also use a similar approach when trying to migrate their families into SA. The "Relative Permanent Residency" ( e.g. say you moved to SA and got a CS-PR and now you want your wife and kids to join you in SA )... this Relative-PR can take several years to come out ( 2-3+ years) so people usually get the Relative-VISA first which can take a few weeks to a few months to come out and this visa can last up to 5 years. This allows your family to join you on the Relative-VISA and then they can stay with you in SA while they wait for the Relative-PR to come out in like 3 years. Edit: made some corrections to this... Now onto the graduates issue.... It is a requirement for the Critical Skills Visa to have post qualification work experience... so if you are a fresh graduate with no work experience, you do not qualify for the visa. I was wrong in the video about needing 5 years work experience to get the critical skills visa.... but you do need work experience (and references from previous industry employers) to qualify for the visa and it is up to your professional body to confirm that you have the required work experience for the critical skill ( it doesn't have to be 5 years but it does depend on your professional body ).... and you need a job offer too.
So does it mean that the other easier way for companies to employ international students is if they have the one year critical skill visa? So the only requirement for a one year critical skill visa is a permanent employment letter ? You will have to renew the critical skill visa yearly ?
The 1-year critical skills visa is not a thing anymore... The only version of the critical skills visa is the one where you NEED a job offer and this can last up to 5-years.
@@danielsoda1346 yeah it seems like the only way is a work permit. But to get a work permit that company you applying for has to go to the department of labor. The department of labor will then find 5 south African candidates for the company you applying for to interview. The company has to then give a reason on why they can't employ those 5 candidates over you
I’m from the SA Embassy today. Another new requirement that i didnt know of is that your ECSA membership should be stated as professional rather than as candidate eg. Professional Engineering Technologist rather than Candidate Engineering Technologist. Apparently it takes 5 years to transition from candidate to professional (im not sure)
Just did a research, its 3 years of experience not 5. It also includes going through ECSA assessments and competency interviews . Here’s a link to a clear presentation about that ua-cam.com/video/xaqa8HjhGL4/v-deo.html
Sometimes ECSA is not the best, consult with a immigration specialist. As an industrial engineer, ECSA said no, but another recognised institution said after receiving SAQA, they will give me the critical skills accreditation I need to work.
@@chrisg1234fly NO MORE JUST GIVING WE HAVE TOO MANY GRADS UNEMPLOYED BECAUSE OF RACIST GREEDY COMPANIES THAT WANTS TO PROFIT OUT OF PAYING FOREIGHNERS LESS AND PAY WHITES MORE.

You are a minion yourself. You are a moron who is completely ignorant of what exactly is happening. These people you think you are betting the same team, on the ground they call you a foreigner and see themselves and having the rights to stay here and not you!!!!you are speaking from a full stomach and privilege! Wake up!!
When you get the visa you have to stick to the job…if you change jobs you can to update your visa with the new role which must also be a critical skill… but when you get permanent residency you are pretty much free to live how you want to…thank citizen but without the benefits of citizen specific rights like voting…. And there’s a requirement that you can’t go for more than 3 years without visiting the country or something along those lines
You can if you have at least 5 million rands to invest in your business (Business Visa) and to follow all the other local laws for foreigners starting businesses.
Some of these changes are caused by the behavior of our people whenever our black people are given opportunity most take advantage for the kindness and do the opposite like crimes and fraud
What about those South Africans who move to other countries for greener pastures to get permanent residency through critical skills? Does that mean they must come back to South Africa? What I suggest is for the government to remove critical skills qualifications like engineering, other health science etc. To open employment for South Africans
@@mpasyakhente9090 south africans always come back home they don't even take the governments of those countries to court for applying their laws zimbos on the other hand have this entitlement mentality .
