MINISTER ANNOUNCES NEW QUOTA CATEGORY
SCHEDULES
On the 25th April 2007 the Minister of
Home Affairs announced at a media briefing the new quota category
schedules as is required in terms of the Immigration Act number 13
of 2002.
This list is based upon the so-called “National Critical Skills
List” which has ostensibly been drawn up by the Ministry of Home
Affairs in consultation with counter parts in the Ministries of
Trade and Industry, Labour and Education.
In terms of the Immigration Act and its Regulations this list must
be published on the aforesaid consultative basis once a year.
Ostensibly the list will therefore be valid for a period of one year
from date of issue.

The various professional categories and skills are set out
distinctly in the schedule and this includes not only the
description of the professional category but also the requirement
for the applicant to prove registration with a professional body
(where applicable) and at least five years of relevant professional
experience in that category.

of an application in the quota work permit category then complete

national printed media.

indefinite period.
