GLOBAL MOBILITY BREAKFAST
Join Xpatweb’s Global Mobility Breakfast to explore the biggest topics affecting the South African Immigration Landscape, including the latest on the Visa backlog, insights into the new Critical Skills List, and much more!
Following the success of Xpatweb’s Global Mobility events held in 2022, our clients and other corporates requested that we host this event annually. This year’s conference will be hosted by Marisa Jacobs (Managing Director) and the esteemed Mr Phindiwe Mbhele (Director, Corporate Accounts) from the Department of Home Affairs.
MEET THE SPEAKERS
