Emigration
to Namibia:
Our studies have found that people wanting to work or settle in Namibia
fall into the below categories:
1. Persons born in Namibia prior to Independence (1990) wanting to
return to Namibia and claim citizenship
more
►
2. Persons wanting to study or work temporarily in Namibia. This requires
the issuing, by the Ministry of Home Affairs of two permits. (a) A Temporary
Residence Permit For Work Purposes, and (b) a Temporary Work or Study Permit.
Note:
In compliance with the Affirmative Action and Black Economic Empowerment
legislation, Namibian employers are required to first investigate the
opportunities for giving employment to "Previously Disadvantaged" Namibian
citizens, and then to 'other' Namibian citizens. If the vacant position cannot be
filled by either of these groups the employer can then offer the position to
a non-citizen. It is then the employer's responsibility to obtain the
Temporary Working Visa and the Temporary Residence Visa for the employee.
