    I believe the income requirement is that you have to make a minimum of R1,000,000 ($53,000) per year so if you make that or more you qualify for the visa. And tax free for 6 months and you pay tax on the 2nd half of the year if you want to stay the full year.

    Thank you Ashley for this video. This was very helpful. If possible can you do a video about the transitions you made with your children to South Africa. Schools, Daycare, healthcare, costs and just their overall adjustment. Like, where your girls placed in the same grades they were in the US? How much is healthcare costing you? What areas are more for families? What is the process on getting them visas? Sorry of you have already done this video before. I am knew to this channel. I am seriously thinking of moving to South Africa. `I have a 16 year old, a 2 year, and 1 year old.

      Hi Brittany
      Looking forward to Ashley‘a response but on the schools, generally kids from the west go to the next grade depending on the time of year, and when we go to the west our kids are moved back one grade. That’s because our school year starts in January and yours later.
      It will be best for your 16 year old to start Grade 11 here, because our Grade 11 and 12 work in terms of portfolios for subjects like Mathematics. He/she would not be able to do core Maths in Grade 12, if he/she does not have a portfolio from Grade 11.
      I’m South African but when we moved back to South Africa my daughter was forced to do Maths at a lower grade that does not require a Grade 11 portfolio. That’s a disadvantage because the child would not be able to pursue degrees that require Core Maths, unless they get a distinction and take a test proving they can handle higher grade Maths (some universities give them that chance but often they still lose a year improving their Maths pass mark).
      The grading system here is really tough, but you will save thousands of dollars if your child gets into one of our top universities. I know of US students who come to study here just because it is more affordable, and return to the US after graduating for post gad (grad school).

      Childcare is very cheap, as are kindergartens if you earn dollars. You can hire someone to take care of your little ones at home for next to nothing in dollar terms.

    Unless foreigners are going to be investing in South Africa and providing jobs this is not going to be good for South Africans. It will only benefit the people with the visas. We already have a huge problem with property prices rising in Cape Town because many people come to live here and it’s cheap for them but South Africans still earn in rands and don’t get huge increases so it makes property and recreation less affordable.
    We love people coming to visit but we also don’t like that it makes things worse for us. If this didn’t only benefit people from outside of South Africa then people from first world countries wouldn’t be moving to a third world country for a better life.

And when we have a new government they will inherit the current government’s problems + the apartheid government’s problems. We just need people who care to run the country, and young people instead of old people. We have the best country in the world and majority of the country can be extremely wealthy if it was run well but yet most people live in poverty.

    Question: My wife and I are currently expats in Botswana but plan on moving to South Africa to settle down. We've been looking into the visa process because when we move, I will have to return to the US in order to retire for a year with my job, possibly leaving the family for a year in SA. My wife is a stay-at-home mom, but I will be supporting them financially while I'm away. What would the visa process look like for them?

      Crypto has been around since at least 2008. It won't happen that soon. The market is too saturated with various crypto that often serves no purpose. That number would have to be reduced first, amongst other issues. Then, countries and governments will get involved to decide which crypto is most valuable. Worldwide, it might not be bitcoin. The working masses still fund everything and consume every thing, the working masses keep economies going. They are not bitcoin heavy if you look at the majority of the world.
