Critical Skills Visa Vs General Work Visa

Navigating the difference between the Critical Skills Visa and a General Work Visa can be tricky. But not to worry, Abroadscope has got you covered. A general work visa requires a contract of employment, but a CSV is issued based on the individual’s skills. With Abroadscope’s expertise, we’ll guide you to the right visa perfectly suited for your needs.

Prepare For The Costs

How much does a Critical Skills Visa cost? Our service fee is coupled with the necessary fines including R1520, R1550, and other Pro Body/SAQA fees. The VFS application costs R1550. The total period for preparing and getting the Visa may range from 2-6 months preparation with additional 8-12 weeks of VFS processing.
