Hi Lisita,
When applying for a work permit when you are outside the country you must show that you have a job; they will in no way give you a permit to come look for a job in a market that has over 40% unemployment rate.
Secondly, I suspect that the Critical Skills Visa has been changed to something else and whatever that might be, it is very rigorous a process...you must have a real critical skill, meaning it is needed and no South African citizens have it.
I hope this helps.
All the best,
Zenani
Hi Lisita
