Please note that no one without a legal permit from the Department of Home Affairs is allowed to work with or without remuneration.

Home Affairs Directive 29 of 2011 refers

Due to a recent change in interpretation by the Chief Director of Permits at the Department of Home Affairs Head Office in South Africa, a directive has been issued regarding the issuance of section11(2) visitor's visas/permits.

The Directive confirms that a section 11(2) visitor's visa/permit will be considered as a once off, non-renewable visa/permit that addresses an immediate short term or urgent need for a limited duration of work activity that cannot be met by an application for a work permit.

Furthermore, should an applicant wish to obtain a section 11(2) visitor's visa/permit, an application must be made in writing to the Director-General by the entity for which the applicant will be rendering services to confirm why such person cannot apply for a work permit and the reasons why the limited duration work envisaged is necessary and urgent.

Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC) assists the University with applications.  Please contact your HR-officer well in advance (at least 3 months) to facilitate the process.
