The Corporate visa is an excellent way for companies to manage their human capital and staffing needs. As a result of South Africa’s fast growing economy and increasing demands for services and products from the domestic and international market, your business may struggle to fill all available positions with South African personnel. Certain high qualified and skilled employees in highly specialised areas may simply not be accessible in South Africa. The Corporate visa provides a facility for your company to obtain the permission from Home Affairs to recruit a certain number of foreign employees to fulfill certain roles . Note there is a requirement that company applying for a corporate visa must provide proof that at least 60% of the total staff complement that are employed in the operations of the business are citizens or permanent residents employed permanently in various positions. In addition at any time during the duration of the visa, the holder of a corporate visa must provide proof that at least 60% of the total staff complement that are employed in the operations of the business are citizens or permanent residents employed permanently in various positions . The corporate has to demonstrate to Department of Labour and Trade and Industry of the 60% local staff component's.
