The Department of Home Affairs has started with the implementation of reforms to reposition South Africa as a world-class investment and tourism destination, creating thousands of jobs. The new points-based system combats corruption by introducing a transparent points scale for Critical Skills or General Work Visas. The Remote Work Visa allows highly paid individuals to spend their foreign currency in South Africa, while a new threshold of R650 796 in gross annual income protects lower-end jobs while attracting scarce and critical skills.
