Training in South Africa
Contacted the South African Government ...
I contacted 2 weeks ago already the SA government, but since now I have no feedback
For our part of the world, I suggest you read Franz Kafka, The Trial, to get an idea.

Öhm, yes they respond. NZ and US did and Austria for sure also, they have separate dpt. for aliens who want to invest in the country and push it. Seems like in SA there are different rules in cooperations with government
But not waiting on reply of them, isn´t there anyone in the forum who made some experience with the visa after ending of 1 year? What are the options afterwards with the SA CPLH, except doing licence conversion in another country?

Hi Nigel,
I trained with Henley Air at Rand (joberg) going back a few years. I don't think you'd be disappointed there.
Maybe worth trying to get hold of Andre Coetzee and see what they can do!

PPL CPL
Good afternoon, gentlemen and ladies. I am from Serbia, and I was considering going to South Africa to obtain my PPL and CPL.
As I was touring Antigua & Barbuda, a helicopter pilot advised me that it would be best to obtain your license in the nation where you intend to fly.
I would like to know if it makes sense to complete the courses in South Africa and then complete the conversion in, say, the United States for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and a European country for the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)?
Is it better to start somewhere or is it more costly to convert after the courses?

It’s not what it’s cricked up to be 😂
When I looked at it they had just changed the EASA rules to require 50 hours of "conversion" training if you had a PPL from somewhere like South Africa.
So basically cost as much to do the EASA anyway.
