Payments to Visiting Academics
Posted by David Worth | 26 Jan, 2006HR (Cheryl Samuel) has spoken with UCT’s
Immigration Consultant about payments to visiting academics. The
consultant is preparing a guideline document for UCT, but it seems there is no
limit on the subsistence which we can pay to visiting academics, as long as the
appointment is for less than three months.
Such visitors would need to have a
BUSINESS VISITOR’s permit, AND A LETTER FROM DEPARTMENT OF HOME AFFAIRS before
they start to confirm that they can work here for a period less than three
months and receive remuneration.
Appointments of longer than three months
still require a proper work permit. This can take three months to secure,
so needs to be done way in advance of the actual visit.
