The Section 11(2) Permit is the perfect solution for foreign applicants wanting to enter South Africa on short notice for the purpose of short term work activities which may not be allowed for under the visitors. It is not a casual work permit, but rather a once-off non-renewable permission, that addresses an immediate short term or urgent need of a limited duration of work activity.
Applicants must apply for this short term visa in their country of residents prior to their trip to South Africa. The visa may be issued for 3 months and may be extended in country for a further 3 months should the need arise.
Please note that this visa type will not be issued to certain occupations.:
- Self-employed persons
- Contract Workers
- Exotic Dancers
- Project Management Workers
- Casual Labourers
- Seasonal Labourers
- Work Seeking Persons
