How the Afrikaner Skills Visa Works from Start to Finish
Step-by-Step: How the Afrikaner Skills Visa Works from Start to Finish
For many Afrikaner families, the dream of a safer, more stable life with better job opportunities feels just out of reach. The Afrikaner Skills Visa changes that. It offers a clear, supported pathway to live and work in regional Australia with guaranteed employment, family inclusion, and a pathway to permanent residency.
In this article, we explain the entire process from sign-up to settlement, so you know exactly what to expect.
Step 1: Register Your Details in the Jobs Portal
Your journey starts by filling out a simple online form. This is where you tell us about:
Your work experience
Any licenses or certificates
Your English ability (don’t worry, the requirement is low)
Whether your spouse is also looking for work
Family members you'd like to include in your visa
Tip: The more details you include, the faster and more accurately we can match you with employers.
Step 2: We Match You With an Australian Employer
Unlike traditional job searches, you don’t need to apply for jobs one by one.
Instead, your profile goes into our private portal, which trusted Australian employers access. These employers are specifically approved to hire overseas workers through the Afrikaner Skills Visa program. They are actively looking for skilled South Africans.
Popular job categories include:
Farming and machinery
Truck driving
Construction and trades
Aged care and support work
Hospitality and general labour
Step 3: Employer Makes a Selection and Interview
Once an employer selects your profile, we will contact you to arrange a video interview.
This is usually short and practical. Employers want to:
Understand your work ethic
Confirm your availability and experience
Ask about your willingness to relocate to a regional area
We will guide you through everything you need to prepare.
Step 4: Job Offer Issued and Visa Processing Begins
After a successful interview, the employer issues a formal job offer. At this stage:
We prepare your visa documents
You pay the visa processing fee (this only happens after your job is confirmed)
We guide you step-by-step through medicals, police clearances, and other requirements
Good to know: You do not need a skills assessment, and the English requirement is IELTS 4.5, which is easier than most Australian visas.
Step 5: Visa Approved (Typically in 4 to 6 Months)
Once your application is lodged, the Department of Home Affairs processes your visa. Because of our partnerships and experience, most visas are approved within 4 to 6 months. This is much faster than traditional pathways, which can take 1 to 2 years.
If your visa is not approved for reasons within our control, we offer a full refund of your processing fee.
What Comes Next: Pathway to Permanent Residency
The Afrikaner Skills Visa is designed as a pathway to permanent relocation in Australia.
In many cases, the visa is initially granted for 4 years of full-time work with a sponsoring employer. After that period, you can apply for permanent residency, provided you meet the eligibility criteria.
However, depending on the employer and the role, some applicants are sponsored for permanent residency immediately, meaning they arrive in Australia as permanent residents from the start.
Whether your visa begins as a temporary or permanent one, the end goal is the same — a stable, long-term future for you and your family in Australia.
