Engineers in Doha, Qatar
South African Engineers are embarking on job opportunities in the Middle East on a daily basis. Most of them trust us to prepare and assist them with their document and visa process. During this process we also connect with their employer to ensure that support does not end the day when we complete our services, but continue to update documents on a regular basis should it be required for contract extension or promotion purposes.

Athletes in Shenzhen, China
South African Athletes often travel to Asia in teams or individually to compete in various tournaments. Golf players often require visas on short-notice and might not be able to enter specific tournaments if their visas are rejected. At Road2Asia, Athletes and their agents trust us fully to take care of each and every players needs, because we understand how much is at risk when an application is declined due to improper documentation.

Couples in Dubai, UAE
Qualified South African couples often decide to take a study break after completing their undergraduate degrees. During this period, they work as a team to save money whilst working as English Teachers in Asia and travel the world. Once they return to South Africa, most can afford to purchase property and even further their studies. Living together makes saving so much easier, because costs are essentially divided by two.

Families in Shanghai, China
Families work together to embrace opportunities abroad. We’ve seen it countless times where older siblings and parents start careers in Asia to assist their younger family members financially in South Africa. Once the family members complete their studies in South Africa – they then also embark on careers in Asia. The more teaching experience & years you accumulate abroad – the higher your earning potential becomes.
