Hello, i have got a lot of useful adive form this forum whilst i was applying for my skills quota visa, which i eventually got and here i sit in Johannesburg.

I got my skills quota visa as you guys seem to have a shortage of electricians/electrical engineers over here.

I am having a LOT of trouble getting up and running eg. not all my qualifications are recognised here, finding out info on doing the courses i need to do etc.

Its great country you have here but there are a lot of problems, nothing i can't live with though.

Does anyone know anyone else who got a Skills quota visa to get here, no offence, but i can't imagine many people go for them as they are a pain in the arse to get. Why would some one with a nice job in UK, Oz or New Zealand go through a load of hassel to get pain a lot less than they got in there own country.

Anyway, I,ll be checking the electrical forum for info, any advice greatly apprciated.
