South Africa's New Critical Skills List 2023: Opportunities for Veterinarians and Veterinary Nurses

The Department of Home Affairs in South Africa has recently announced an update to its Critical Skills List, bringing the total number of occupations on the list to 142. This update, effective from October 3, 2023, is welcome news for professionals looking to immigrate to South Africa, particularly for those in the fields of veterinary medicine.

The two new additions to the Critical Skills List are the occupations of Veterinarian and Veterinary Nurse. These inclusions reflect the growing demand for skilled professionals in the veterinary industry within the country. Here's a closer look at the qualifications required for each of these critical roles:


1. Veterinarian: To qualify for this occupation, individuals must hold a minimum qualification level of NQF 8. This signifies a high level of expertise and education, ensuring that only highly skilled veterinarians are eligible for immigration under this category.

2. Veterinary Nurse: The Veterinary Nurse occupation on the list requires a minimum qualification level of NQF 6. This opens up opportunities for trained veterinary nurses to contribute their expertise to South Africa's thriving animal healthcare sector.


The inclusion of these professions on the Critical Skills List not only demonstrates the country's commitment to addressing skill shortages but also presents an excellent opportunity for qualified individuals to consider relocating to South Africa to further their careers.
