Hi ,
Did you find out any useful information about convertion to work permit? I have the same issue with my wife's spouse visa.Really appreciate if you can share some information.

Hi tharinduwije,

Better you start a new thread on the Johannesburg forum for your query. This thread is inactive for quite some time.

cheers,

You can't convet a spouse visa, you can endorse a work or study permit to your visa.

If your qualifications fall within a Critical Skills List, you can ask for a critical skills permit, it would be granted for 12 months is you do not have yet a contract, or up to 5 years if you have a contract.

Otherwise you will have to go the normal work permit route, for what you need a job offer and a contract (and some other annoying documents like a certificate from the labour department, etc.)

Another option is that she gets hired by a company that can make use of the premium facilities in Sandton (usually big multinationals and universities), then the processing time gets reduced significantly.

All info can be found here

Hope it helps.
