Does the latest Critical Skills List cater to the skills your business needs?

As business requirements change, it is important to understand whether the current list still reflects the occupations employers are actively trying to recruit.

As industries evolve and new specialisations emerge, employers are often the first to identify where skills gaps exist.

The 2026 Critical Skills Survey allows employers to share whether the list supports their hiring needs or whether gaps remain.

The Financially Independent Permit is one of South Africa's most sought-after permanent residence pathways for qualifying high-net-worth individuals, but the application process involves more than simply meeting the R12 million financial threshold.

In this episode, Manfred Barnard (Senior Immigration Consultant) and Keri Culver (Senior Immigration Consultant) unpack the liquid asset requirement, the R120,000 Department of Home Affairs contribution, offshore fund verification, and why a strategic two-step approach is often recommended for applicants seeking permanent residence in South Africa.

South Africa's recently approved Immigration White Paper proposes to introduce one of the most significant shifts to immigration policy in decades.

As featured in BusinessTech, our article highlights what this could mean for highly skilled foreign nationals, with Marisa Jacobs (Managing Director of Xpatweb) noting that "the White Paper clearly indicates a policy shift toward tighter control over permanent residence approvals, particularly for highly skilled foreign nationals who currently have more direct pathways available under existing legislation".

The direction of the Critical Skills List and broader immigration policy is shaped by the data that businesses provide.

Last year’s survey showed that 84% of employers struggled to recruit critical skills, and how employer participation can influence how closely policy reflects real hiring needs. This year, that input matters just as much. If your organisation’s experience has shifted, now is the time to reflect it.
