Namibia
Coming to Nam in November would be a waste of time, since business winds down as from December. Time to show your face here is now - July.
You will need a C210 conversion on your FAA licence. That means, log a few 210 hours as dual. Here you need a conversion for each and every a/c you want to fly, unlike in the US and Europe. Since you will only get a validation at first, all a/c have to be on your FAA licence (or in your logbook before you rock up here). For more detail contact Windhoek Flight Training Centre (google).
As far as I know, DCA Namibia just made it a bit more difficult to validate FAA licenses. You might have to write 4-5 exams. You can find out from DCA Namibia (google).
Companies work on very different pay schemes, some pay per hour or NM, some pay a basic salary + S&T. Don't expect more than N$3500.- (=ZAR 3500 = U$ 400-500) monthly initially, rather less. Forget about 10k.
No company around, that is really not recommendable. Sefofane Namibia & Westair the best ones, doesn't mean you would have an easy life though. You will fly your butt off (Sefo) and eat a lot of **** (Westair) but hours are good (Sefo) and Westair got very good SOPs. A/C are workhorses but in ok condition.
Expect to pay N$ 2500 for rent in Windhoek, a little less in Swakopmund. Sharing with other guys is the best option. Initially stay at the backpackers Cardboard Box in Windhoek. They will recommend accommodation in Swakopmund. Don't miss out on going to Swakopmund, as there is a high turn over of pilots, since those companies only operate C210.
Forget about going to RSA, since they already export pilots to neighbouring countries.
Work permit in Nam: find a job, company will sign and stamp the necessary papers and then find an agent, who will process the applications for you. Most companies have somebody they work together with. Be prepared to carry all the costs, although the law says otherwise. Don't know how much it could add up to.
