South Africa’s Department of Home Affairs determined the new points-based system applicable to general and critical skills work visas.
Key Points:
Background: Government officials published the regulations on the new points-based system as part of the amendments to South Africa’s immigration law, specifically sections 19(2) and (4) of the Immigration Act, 2002 (Act No. 13 of 2002) and regulation 18(12) and (13) of the Immigration Regulations, 2014.
BAL Analysis: Critical skills and general work visa applications must qualify under a new points-based system. BAL will continue to monitor developments and will provide more information as it becomes available.
