My partner works for a global company in SA but is now in the process of getting an intra company transfer work permit to work long term in SA. He has applied and handed in all the documents so we are now just waiting for it to come through. Does anyone have any idea how long this will take? I ask as until it comes through our belongings can not be shipped out from the UK and we would rather have them there asap as I will be moving across to join him in July.
Any advice would be great! Thanks

Unfortunately it is difficult to guess or even estimate. Where exactly did your partner apply?
