Hi, just joined the forum and my 1st topic

I am considering an option to take up a job in Joburg. I would be employed by an India based company and sent to SA. I would request if anyone has info on how long does it take to get a work permit in such cases. My case will be a company transfer.

Also, I have a daughter who is 9 years old and studying in Class 4. What grade will she be absorbed in the S. African schools? Is there a restriction on when you can join a school because her being there is dependent on me getting the work permit.

Would really appreciate someone's help on this.

Regards

For you to work in Johannesburg you needs: 1. work permit,2. status of refugees, Asylum seekers.but if you don't have the 2 option, you need the work permit.and if you apply it takes 3 Months or less.and if you get the job the employ is the one who will help you to get it. you don't have to stress yourself about it.
