EXPLAINER | Short-term work visa vs SA's new remote work visa: what's the difference?
The remote work visa allows individuals employed by foreign companies to work remotely in South Africa, and is similar to the nomad visas now popular in many countries across the globe, explainsA significant change introduced by the newly gazetted regulations on 20 May 2024, was the implementation of the remote work visa in South Africa. This visa allows individuals employed by foreign companies to work remotely in South Africa.
A brief overview of some key distinctions between the remote work visa and Section 11 visa can be seen below:The remote work visa allows foreign nationals to reside in South Africa while being employed by a foreign entity abroad and work remotely. This visa is designed for individuals who wish to enjoy South Africa's amenities while maintaining employment with a foreign entity and continuing their normal duties remotely.
To obtain this visa, the foreign national must demonstrate the purpose of their visit by providing documentation from both the foreign employer and the South African host company. This documentation should confirm the nature of the project and justify the foreign national's presence in South Africa, based on their specialised skills and expertise.
In contrast, the visitor’s visa under Section 11 is intended for short-term work assignments. It allows foreign nationals to engage in specific work-related activities in South Africa for a limited period. This visa is suitable for individuals who need to visit the country temporarily to fulfil specific duties on behalf of a foreign employer at a local host company.
