Immigration regulations are quite tough and the process, if done by oneself, is quite stressful and almost impossible. One should consider getting professional help when immigrating.

Work permits for South Africa
If you want to obtain a work permit for South Africa, there are many things that have to be done beforehand.
Most importantly, there are four work permit categories:
- General Work Permit
- Exceptional Skills Work Permit
- Quota Work Permit
- Intra Company Work Permit
General Work Permit
Most people fall under the category of a General Work Permit. The General Work Permit can be obtained by anyone that has a job offer in South Africa. The employer needs to do certain things though, such as advertising the job nationwide, job interviews with South Africans etc.
Exceptional Skills Permit
The Exceptional skills work permit can be obtained by people that can prove their "exceptional skill" in a certain matter. The prove of the skills can be letters from a government authority or other official authority recognizing the exceptional skills. On this permit, it is far easier to obtain the permit and many of the obstacles of the General Work Permit are waived.
Quota Work Permit
There are several quotas issued each year, as South Africa is in the need of skilled labor from outside the country (e.g. civil engeneers, chemical engeneer, fitter and turner, draughtsmen etc.). The quota work permit will be issued without a job offer, allowing the person obtaining one to go and find a job in South Africa and to start working immediately once a job is found.
