Hi All,
Recently a consultancy processed a work permitt visa for me. I am planning to travel to standton in the last week of may ( with my wife and no kids).
The consultancy offered 330K Rands per year excluding accomadation & transport.
Can you provide the basic info like this PKG is sufficient? considering the cost of living in standton. ?

Hi Mohandalai
I would say that R330K per annum is a sort of lower middle management salary in SA corporate environment.
Are your employers providing accommodation for you? If not, good accommodation in Sandton itself will cost between R10,000 and R15,000 per month, as it is an upmarket area. Cheaper accommodation is available, but will involve a bit of daily travel to work.
Remember also that aside from the new Gautrain, which you may be able to use to commute every day, the public transport in Johannesburg is poor, and you will need a car.
