Work permit

Theoretically, yes, however after applying and working, straight after this month contract you would need to re-apply to return to your relative's (life partner) visa.

This is assuming your applications are processed quickly (rare) and that you qualify for a life partner visa under the new regulations (5 year relationship).

A visa for a one month contract is like a licence to fly a helium balloon.

Hello JoeM,

Did you ever get the endorsement on your spousal permit. if yes what was the process?

Hello Immigration South Africa.

I am married to a South African and have a spousal relatives visa. Whats the process for getting business/work endorsement on my visa?

First you'll need a signed contract of employment and then you apply for the work endorsement. You visa type will change to a Section 11.

thank you immigratiosa. just checking the process incase i get the offer. i called  home affairs and apparently one now has to change visa status to a general work permit at the vsf centre.
