South Africa: Considering a job opportunity in Joburg:

Dear HansMarike South Africa is certainly a beautiful country and now plays host to so many expats from all parts of the world. I have been in the relocation industry since 2006 and have settled about 20 families per month with no security incidents (thus far:-)) . The important thing to remember when it comes to crime is you need equip yourself with knowledge and awareness when it comes to your personal, home and vehicle safety. You will find that most expats now live in estates or clusters (that are enclosed living areas with varying number of homes within a secure perimeter) that have controlled access to the facility. Security is top-notch. As you have children, the first thing you will want to do is finalize itheir entrance into schools. Most expats kids are in private or international schools. I would strongly advise you to make apply for entrance VERY early as these schools have limited space and are usually fully enrolled by April/May for January of the following school year (international schools follow the Northern Hemisphere school calendars). Once you have finalized schools, then decide on accommodation (depending on your work locale, your spouse's needs, security requirements, etc). It is very important to ensure that your spouse's needs and interests are well attended to to ensure that the family as a unit adjusts successfully. If you require additional information on our services, you may contact me.

South Africa: Money questions in South Africa:

Hi, it certainly is true that you can open a non-resident account into which foreign monies can be deposite. You can also look into off-shore banking (such as HSBS), With regards to forex, our immigrations partner can provide you with rates that are at least half of what the banks will offer you. Do let me know if you require their contact information for obligation free consultation. Cheers!
