Work Permit

Work Permit is an official document giving a foreigner permission to take a job in a country. It is an official document that shows that a person is allowed to work. There are seven main types of work permits: Hot Work Permits, Cold Work Permits, Confined Spaces Work Permits, Chemical Work Permits, Height Work Permit, and Excavation Permit. Each work permit is categorized depending on the nature of the job and the hazard involved in it.

Work permits or temporary visas for work are issued by the Department of Home Affairs. Applications for temporary residence visas are processed and finalised at the foreign offices of the Department of Home Affairs, and you should make travel arrangements only once the visa has been approved.


The permit to work helps to reduce the risk of safety incidents by ensuring the people involved are aware of the specific hazards, take the necessary precautions and are competent for the work. The permit to work (PTW) is a written record identifying the work to be done and the potential hazards and precautions that need to be addressed. They are used for coordinating and maintaining safe working conditions.
