Contact Abroadscope for Work Permits
It’s the worst feeling: your work permit application is submitted, and you’re met with total silence. You’re not alone, and Abroadscope is here to help.
The “Contact” Problem
One common question we get is: ‘Does Home Affairs have a WhatsApp number?’ Unfortunately, the answer is no. Both VFS and DHA communication tend to be a black box, with no direct way to get answers on the application status.
How to Really Check Your Status
The VFS online tracker is the only official way to check your work permit status. However, the tracker often lags behind the real-time status due to the number of applications processed.
The Abroadscope Solution
While we can’t speed up the DHA process, Abroadscope can provide timely updates on your application. We have a direct channel with DHA and ensure our clients stay informed.
Timelines
Another frequently asked question is about the visa approval time. Typically, it takes between 8-12 weeks under the new system for a work permit to be approved.
Critical Skills vs General Work Visa
It’s essential to understand the difference between a critical skills visa and a general work visa. A critical skills visa requires a high level of expertise in areas where South Africa has skills shortages, while a general work visa can be obtained without these specialized skills.
Client Testimonials
Our clients vouch for our commitment to keep them updated. Check out some of the Abroadscope work permit reviews from satisfied customers.

One of the most significant concerns for our clients is the cost of obtaining a work visa. The exact cost can vary depending on your circumstances, but our team at Abroadscope will provide you with a detailed breakdown.

As you can see, applying for a work permit is a detailed and often confusing process. It can be frustrating trying to navigate the system alone. However, with Abroadscope, you’ll have a dedicated partner to handle the stress for you.
