South Africa simplifies requirements for Zimbabwe Exemption Permit holders applying for General Work Visas
Effective 6 August 2024, the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) simplified the application requirements for Zimbabwe Exemption Permit (ZEP) holders who seek to obtain General Work Visas (GWVs). ZEP holders seeking to apply for GWVs are no longer required to obtain a recommendation letter from the Department of Employment and Labour (DOL) prior to applying or submit proof of educational qualifications assessed by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) as part of their application. This change impacts all GWV applications submitted to the DHA on or before 6 August 2024 that are still pending adjudication, as well as those submitted after this date.
