Intra-Company Transfer Visa in South Africa

A South African Intra-Company Transfer Work Visa enables staff members to transfer from an overseas company to a branch, subsidiary, or affiliated business in South Africa.

It’s a convenient way to get a change of scenery via temporary immigration. At the same time, your employers benefit from leveraging your expertise in another location.

One of the requirements to be eligible for an ICT visa is that you must have been with your current employer for no less than six months, and you must have documentation to prove the fact.

Please note: Your employer must submit a Transfer of Skills Plan, which details how they plan to transfer skills to a South African national or permanent resident. Without a Transfer of Skills Plan, you don’t qualify for a South African Intra-Company Transfer Work Visa

In addition to having worked for your employer for at least six months, to meet the requirements for an ICT visa in South Africa, it’s necessary for the branch, subsidiary, or affiliation to already be in operation, and it must have at least one South African employee.

Documentation required for a South African Intra-Company Transfer Work Visa includes:

• The usual personal forms and documents are required for all types of visas in South Africa.
• Proof of employment that goes back at least six months.
• Letters confirming the transfer from the sending and receiving entity in South Africa.
• Transfer of Skills plan with a nominated local understudy.
• Written undertakings by the employer in South Africa.
