As per the Department of Employment and Labour, the national minimum wage is R30.64 per hour effective 1 March 2026 for all ordinary hours of work. For welders working a standard 45-hour week over 4.33 weeks, this equates to R5,975 per month before deductions. Sectoral determinations like those from the MEIBC set higher rates for covered welders.
Q What work visa is required for a foreigner to take up a welder job in South Africa in 2026?
Foreign welders require a General Work Visa as welding is not on the Critical Skills List effective 2026. The employer must apply via VFS Global with a job offer, company registration, and proof of advertising the job locally for 30 days, with visas valid up to 5 years. Processing takes 8-20 weeks and costs R1,520 application fee.
Q What qualifications and experience are needed for certified welder jobs in South Africa?
Certified welders need a National N3 Certificate in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent NQF Level 4, plus 36 months workplace experience, followed by passing a trade test at an accredited test centre.
