Black Economic Empowerment legislation, Namibian employers are required to
first investigate the opportunities for giving employment to
"Previously Disadvantaged" Namibian citizens, and then to White
Namibians. 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.
