The 2026 Xpatweb Critical Skills Survey is officially open.
With a record-breaking employer participation last year, the survey continues to contribute meaningful industry insight into discussions surrounding South Africa’s Critical Skills List and broader immigration policy considerations.
This year’s survey has been refined to make participation more focused and efficient, while continuing to capture the depth of insight needed to reflect current business realities.
We encourage organisations across all sectors to participate and share their experience of skills shortages, recruitment challenges across specialist occupations, reliance on international talent pools, and ongoing immigration and mobility considerations.
