Question lang po, mejo nalilito ako. kapag po ba job code mo ay nasa State Nominated Occupations List may tag na "special conditions apply", hindi ka makakapag apply ng nomitaion sa ngayon, unless onshore ka? This is even na satisfy mo yung requirements such as Proficient English and 75 pts? Thanks po in advance

Ang pagka intindi ko kapag may “special conditions apply” kailangan mo ma meet yung conditions na naka specify sa skill code mo. Pinaka maganda gawin eh subukan mag pasa ng state nomination if nag tuloy ata doon sa payment na meet mo yung special conditions if hindi, meaning hindi na meet.
Ako din di ko daw na meet kasi yung skill code ko 263111, 489 lang offered kasi offshore at hindi available yung high points. Ayun hindi na ako umabot sa payment.

hi what is your occupation? most likely you have to wait for the next financial year (July 2020) to see if your occupation is still on the list. once your occupation goes to a special condition, you can still apply if you are either an international student in SA or have been living in SA for the past 12 months.
