Every fee on this page. Third-party costs listed separately.

Our service fee is one part of the total. Depending on the matter, add the Home Affairs application fee (for example around R1,520 for Critical Skills, and no application fee for a spousal application), the VFS service fee of roughly R1,550, SAQA evaluation where required at about R900 to R3,000, professional body registration for Critical Skills at roughly R2,000 to R6,000 depending on the body, and police clearance and medical costs which vary. Company registrations carry the CIPC statutory fee, currently R125 without a name reservation or R175 with one. Every written quote itemises these separately so you can see exactly what goes to us and what goes to a third party.

A SAQA evaluation is required for most work visa applications where the qualification was obtained outside South Africa. It takes roughly four to six weeks and costs around R900. We can manage the SAQA submission as part of our guided or full-service tiers.

For services above R5,000 we accept a 50% deposit upfront and 50% on completion. Below that, the fee is payable on acceptance of the quote. We accept EFT, card payments via PayFast, and SnapScan. An invoice is issued for every payment.

Where the scope is predictable, yes. The quote states the fixed service fee and lists third-party costs separately. If the scope changes materially during the matter, we quote the change in writing before doing the work rather than adding it to the final invoice.
