Common questions about Permit Support

What financial documents are needed for a work permit application?

SARS compliance certificates, proof of business viability, audited or compiled financial statements, and a letter confirming the employer's financial position are typically required. We prepare and certify all of these.

Can you help a foreign national register a company in South Africa?

Yes. We handle the full CIPC registration process for foreign nationals, ensuring all requirements for legal business operation in South Africa are met — from name reservation to share certificates.

Do foreign-owned businesses have different SARS obligations?

Every business operating in South Africa must register with SARS for income tax, and for VAT if turnover exceeds R1 million. We guide foreign business owners through registration and ongoing compliance from day one.
