South Africa Now Offers a Remote Work Visa for Foreigners

--:--
GUEST – Keri Culver, Senior Immigration Consultant at Xpatweb
The Department of Home Affairs (DHA) on 28 March 2024 Gazetted a set of Immigration Regulations which allowed foreigners to come work and stay in South Africa on a Remote Work Visa. Following a press briefing by Minister Aaron Motsoaledi of the Department of Home Affairs on 9 April, these regulations have been subsequently withdrawn. However, according to the Minister, the DHA is in the process of finalising the regulations and will gazette a revised version by next week after taking into consideration comments received.
South Africa has now enabled the same remote working incentive as roughly 50 other countries, including Australia, Brazil, Cayman Islands, Dubai, Germany, Portugal, Namibia and Mauritius, to mention some popular destinations.
