After graduating in South Africa, international students can apply for a post-study work visa under specific conditions. The Critical Skills Work Visa is available if your qualification aligns with occupations listed as critical skills. Alternatively, the General Work Visa requires a job offer and proof that no local candidate could fill the position.
The Post-Graduation Employment Visa allows up to 12 months to seek employment, provided you apply within 90 days of graduation. Each visa has distinct requirements, including proof of financial means and medical insurance. Consult the Department of Home Affairs for updated regulations and processing times.
