South Africa introduces "nomad visa" for remote workers, targeting foreign employees of foreign companies earning at least R1 million annually.

South Africa has introduced a "nomad visa" for remote workers, allowing foreign employees of foreign companies to work remotely from the country. The visa, which became law on May 20, aims to attract remote workers earning at least R1 million ($55,404) annually, and includes a short-term tax exemption. This move addresses criticism from major foreign-owned employers who have struggled to get technicians and executives into the country due to South Africa's complex permit system.
