South Africa has introduced the Remote Work Visa for digital nomads in South Africa with a foreign based employer and an annual income of at least ZAR 650 796,00.
A Remote Work Visa may be issued for up to three years and can be renewed within South Africa.
Depending on how long the holder intends to stay in South Africa, you may be required to register as a tax payer. If you spend more than 183 days in South Africa during any 12-month period, you may be liable to register for tax.
Lee and Truter Attorneys highly recommend that prospective applicants consult with a South African tax practitioner to ensure compliance.
