Wat vereis word
Wat jy nodig het
- A job offer and a contract of employment signed by you and the employer before anything is submitted. Applications must reach the Department at least 12 weeks before the start date.
- The right permit for the job. Most trades and driving roles go through a General Employment Permit, which is issued for 2 years and can be renewed. Roles on the Critical Skills list use a Critical Skills Employment Permit.
- Pay at or above the minimum for the permit. For a General Employment Permit the Department currently lists it as generally EUR 36,605 a year, with lower figures for meat processing, horticulture, healthcare assistants and home support. Check the official figure for your role before you rely on it.
- A Labour Market Needs Test in most General Employment Permit cases: the employer advertises the job first, and only then can the application go in.
- The 50:50 rule: at least half of the employer's staff must be EEA nationals at the time of application, with exceptions for start-ups and sole employees.
- Your passport, your qualifications, references, and a medical and background check where the employer asks for them.

Die ambagstoets
Hoe ons HGV drivers toets
Practical drive with a qualified assessor, reversing and coupling, a walk-round check, and the licence conversion route confirmed for your country before you travel.
Getoets in Johannesburg, Manila of 'n vennootsentrum naby jou voordat enigiemand op 'n vliegtuig klim, sodat jy in 'n werk beland wat pas by wat jy kan doen.
Wat op die dag gebeur, stap vir stap
Die proses
Stuur jou CV
'n Werwer gaan deur jou ervaring, jou lisensies en waar jy wil werk. Geen fooi, geen verpligting nie, en jy kan enige tyd stop.
Onderhoud en ambagstoets
Jy ontmoet die werkgewer, persoonlik of per video, dan 'n praktiese toets met 'n gekwalifiseerde assessor sodat jy in 'n werk beland wat pas by wat jy kan doen.
Aanbod en papierwerk
'n Skriftelike aanbod met die salaris en ure daarin, voordat enigiets anders gebeur. Dan die mediese en die agtergrondkontroles.
Permit en visum
Die werkgewer doen aansoek om jou werkpermit en ons hanteer die visum saam met jou. Dit is die lang stadium, en die een wat niemand beheer nie.
Jy land
Vlug, verblyf, PPSN, bankrekening en foon gereël, en iemand wat by jou inloer nadat jy aankom.
Keep an eye out
New jobs go up there first
Roles are posted as they come in, with the trade and the country, and there is usually a fortnight between a job appearing there and the applications closing.
