The Preamble of the Immigration Act, 2002 (Act No. 13 of 2002) (“the Immigration Act”) states that in
providing for the regulation of admission of foreigners to, their residence in, and their departure from
the Republic and for matters connected therewith, the Department of Home Affairs must ensure that
the South African economy has access at all times to the full measure of needed contributions by
foreigners and that the contribution of foreigners in the South African labour market does not
adversely impact on existing labour standards and the rights and expectations of South African
workers.
Section 19(4) of the Immigration Act stipulates that subject to any prescribed requirements, a critical
skills work visa may be issued by the Director-General to an individual possessing such skills or
qualifications determined to be critical for the Republic from time to time by the Minister by notice in
the Gazette and to those members of his or her immediate family determined by the Director-General
under the circumstances or as may be prescribed.
In view of the above, Notice is hereby given that after a thorough process led by the Department of
Higher Education and Training, through its Labour Market Intelligence Research Programme and
backed by an extensive scientific methodology, the Minister of Home Affairs intends to publish the
new Critical Skills List of 2021.
Interested persons, communities, organizations and institutions are invited to submit written
comments on the Technical Report for the 2021 Critical Skills List by 16h00 on 31 March 2021.
Comments received after the closing date will not be considered.
The Technical Report on how the Critical Skills List was compiled is available on www.dha.gov.za
