I noticed this on Sefofane's profile in pilotcareercentre.com today:
2010 Update:
**Company no longer able to employ foreign pilots as it is unable to get Visas for foreigners.
I've seen some talk of this on PPRuNe, but no clear explanations. Are my dreams of flying in Africa dashed? Or is this just unique to Sefofane?

Then I guess Sefo is going to close the doors... Funny this Bots DCA.
But I think this info is there since last March when they've had the local pilots finishing their training in SA.

Hello every body!
I have just registered at pprune but i have been reading the threads refering to Bots and Namb hiring seasons for a while.
I am heading to Maun in January.
Does anybody know if down there the companies do ask for an ICAO level 4 English level?
THX

Hi folks!
I've got a tricky question for everybody..Do you know if a CPL SINGLE ENGINE is mandatory for bush companies to be hired,or just the MULTI ENGINE CPL is ok?
Hope someone could help me!
Thanks a lot!
Cheers

In the thread above it says that pay in Botswana is about 9500 pula a month which comes out to about 1444 usd. Not 300 - 400 usd a month stated in this thread. So which one is correct?

in nam the base is around 6000 hard Namibian Denares. Some companies pay more, some less, but in that case you earn something after every hour you fly. from 120 to 250 or so. You will usually get along from this amount. If you only spend half on booze...
But if money is a motivating factor then forget about a job here.

You will not be flying in a multi in any of these places with a fresh Com. So if you do not have a SEP endorsement how are you going to get that onto your validation ?
Usually you should have SEP/MEP endorsed on your license because I am sure that you flew SEP in your training and hour collecting as well ?
--Edit: Assuming you have a JAR license, you will have to make sure you have the SEP endorsement in your license because they seem to issue class- and typeratings separately. You can only validate the ones you have in the original license document.
---Edit2: ok dude I know your are very enthusiastic but please stop asking your questions in different threads at the same time and stick to one - it is unfair towards the guys trying to help you. After reading your other posts I read you are on a FAA license but the procedures for validation still are the same.

hi propellerpilot, Im new on here and didnt know the threats are linked to each other.. sorry about it, and i'll stick to one only from now on.. thank you for the advise.
In my FAA license it says: Commercial pilot: Airplane multiengine land; instrument airplane.
Private privileges: Airplane single engine land.
In have done for private and instrument + building hours about 225hrs on single and for commercial 27 hrs in multi engine.
Thank you for the help, and sorry if i keep asking as im a newbie in the aviation and im very confused with all this.
