A temporary work permit is designed for foreign workers to take up employment in Botswana on a temporary basis. This visa is issued for a period of three (3) months and can be extended for an additional three (3) months.
Applicants from visa-exempt countries can enter and start working immediately after the issuance of a temporary work permit. For other countries, applicants must obtain a business visa to enter Botswana for work purposes after issuance of the temporary work permit.
