Concerned
I am getting concerned about the number of people asking for personal contacts on the forum. Wouldn't it be beneficial if the matter is discussed here for future reference. We must be vigilant guys scammers everywhere.

critical skills visa extension
Hi
The requirements on the webasite are:
CRITICAL SKILLS WORK VISA (EXTENSION OF VISA INITIALLY ISSUED FOR 12 MONTHS)
SECTION 19(4) OF THE ACT
• Duly completed online form. Handwritten forms will not be accepted by Department of Home Affairs.
• Passport valid for no less than 30 calendar days after expiry of the intended visit.
• Police clearance certificate (Not required if person has been in the Republic for less than 12 months at the time of extension)
• Contract of Employment or Offer of Employment signed by both applicant and the employer stating the condition that the contract will only be valid provided the applicant obtains a valid critical skills work visa)
• A written undertaking by the employer accepting responsibility for the costs related to the deportation of the applicant and his or her dependent family members, should it become necessary
• A written undertaking by the employer to ensure that the passport of his or her employee is valid at all times for the duration of his or her employment
• Proof that the applicant falls within the critical skills category by specifically indicating the occupation/critical skill for which the application is being made. The occupation/critical skill must be on the Critical Skills list.
• Copy of the Critical Skills Work Visa recently issued to the applicant for 12 months.
• Proof of payment of the applicable fee

I was asked to submit my documents which were part of the initial application which include - board membership, SAQA, all your certificates.... basically proof of your critical skill.

I was also asked to fill in some form which they will use to do a police clearance on my behalf.

I submitted beginning on August in Pretoria and am waiting for a response. The info shared is based on what I was asked to submit at VFS.
