The Q400 is a similar type, you would need to do differences training (4 sim sorites), although in my opinion having flown both 300's and Q400's they are different types.
In SA differences training involves 3 Sim Sessions and the SACAA do allocate different designators to the 300 and Q400.
SAX FOM does not allow for the flying of both types on the same day (Single FDP Period).
Only if you are a South African Citizen or have the right to live and work in SA.
