A Business Visa is a temporary visa that allows individuals to engage in business-related activities in South Africa. Eligibility criteria depend on the purpose of the visit and the specific requirements set by the Department of Home Affairs.
Required documents typically include a valid passport, a business plan, proof of financial resources, medical and radiological reports, and any additional documents specific to the purpose of your business visit.
While Business Visas primarily focus on business-related activities, provisions exist to include dependents such as spouses and children. Additional requirements and documentation may be necessary for family members accompanying you.
Processing times for Business Visa applications can vary. It is advisable to apply well in advance of your planned travel dates to allow for sufficient processing time.
Business Visas can be extended in certain cases if your business activities in South Africa require an extended stay. Extension applications must be submitted prior to the expiration of your current visa.
The minimum investment required for a Business Visa application in South Africa is R5 million, unless a waiver is obtained for certain types of businesses.
If you have a Business Visa, a minimum of 60% of your workforce must be citizens or permanent residents of South Africa.
