Good evening house, is there any Pharmacist who has gone through this process
Re: South Africa Critical Skill Visa And Permanent Resident by tweb1: 1:50am On Jul 31, 2018
Hello House Please i need advice from you guys.

I am currently a holder of a critical skill permit and also employed. One thing is that my area of employment is not same as my field of training.

I completed an honours program in Geophysics in SA and after my honours I applied for a critical skill visa and was issued a 1 year visa.

The conditions for renewal of the visa was for me to register with my professional body and also get an employment contract within the 1 year.

Now i have applied for the professional body and was given a letter which says i have applied. I am also currently employed as a software developer (PHP Developer specifically).

So i have a letter from SACNASP (South African Council for Natural Science Professional) while my job is in ICT in the Integrated Developers section of critical skill list.

My Boss asked that if i like i can draft a letter and give him to sign as a supporting document towards the renewal of my visa.

I don't know if it will be an issue for someone with a critical skill in Geophysics but practicing software development even though both are in the critical skill list.

Or should i take advantage of the fact that the software product i will be working on has a very tiny aspect which is related to geophysics and draft a letter to accentuate the fact?

Quite sensitive. But you will need to seek official info from the folks at the dhs maybe via a proxy or via an email enquiry. I suspect you might have to re-register with IITPSA. But I do not think this scenario can adversely affect your current permit or access to one if you are due for renewal. Its just a case of you having multi competencies. You are most likely not the first with this scenario so get an official feedback from dhs without necessarily reporting yourself.

Hello, you can go through the critical skills route. Confirm your skill is part of the list of critical skills. then begin your process by obtaining SAQA.

Thank you.

The first step is to get evaluated by SAQA, you present some documents and pay the fee. Please check the website for more details and registration on the portal.

Professional body membership comes after the above, because SAQA is a part of the requirement. Depending on your profession, you can get more info about joining on the website. As for me in the IT industry, I can choose to join IITPSA or ICITP.

I hope this helps

What stage are you in?

If you have up to 5 years experience, your CV resume, reference letters and certifications would prove that.

I hope this helps.
