Just wanted to share an update from Citizen Remote's South Africa Team 🇿🇦 -- We’re thrilled to announce that, after much anticipation and navigating through regulations, South Africa’s Digital Nomad Visa has officially launched! The Department of Home Affairs has just released the final regulations, and we are ready to assist you with the application process. Here’s a quick summary of the key requirements: • Income Threshold: You’ll need to show an annual income of at least ZAR 650,976 (recently reduced from ZAR 1,000,000). • Employment: You must be employed by a foreign company. • Visa Duration: The visa is valid for up to 36 months, offering plenty of time to experience life in South Africa while working remotely. • Tax Obligations: If you’re in the country for more than 183 days in any 12-month period, you will need to register with the South African Revenue Service (SARS). While we’re excited to help you move forward, we do want to highlight that, as this is a new visa category, it may take some time for South African missions abroad to be fully ready to process applications. Rest assured, we’ll closely monitor developments and guide you through the steps as smoothly as possible. #digitalnomadvisa #southafrica #remotework
