How is life as a pharmacist in SA?
If I obtained my degree in Nigeria how difficult is it to be registered as a pharmacist there, what's salary like, how is standard of living there too? Which part of SA is best for pharmacy practise, Durban, PE?

Boss staggerlee, thanks for the advise. Any advise you can add to this my post?

You will have to have your qualifications evaluated by South African Qualifications Authority, then after you can apply for well paying pharceutical jobs at major pharmacies and stores like Alpha Pharm, Clicks, Checkers, Dischem, etc. Or work for hospitals to ear at least R270k p.a.

I live in SA and a permanent resident permit holder, with an SA I.D' i was in the US last week for a conference when my south african colleague who is married to a Nigerian man pointed out this thread to me, and i was so ashamed to be a Nigerian. Some pieces of advise that i read here was alarming, someone said, people should marry a south african and get a visa to live in SA, why the heck will you marry just because of a visa.

The only reason to come to SA is to come and study or you have critical skill so you can impact SA's ailling economy positively. Study in any of the STEM courses. Dont just come here on any yeye visa and become illegal. We need to restore pride into our nation nigeria. Believe me, if you dont have critical skills now in SA, if u like marry Zumas daughter you cant get a valid permit, unless u have R5m to start a business so that you can get a business visa. Your visitor's visa cannot be converted to any kind of visa. We have a lot of Nigerians here that are loafing the streets of Jozi laundering our image, pls dont come and add to it.

for any one to stay in south africa permit is composory so u need permit b4 starting anything here.

Can you shed more light on the type of businesses one can open/own there? Any idea what they might cost to start? And the type of document required to open/start such business.

after geting a permit and you are here legally u can operate a business, u will register your business get tax paper and open a Saloon or Restaurant from N600,000 above you will get a good business and fix all papers needed, permit excluded.

yea............. in naira.

That's kind of too low (less than $2000) for a standard restaurant. All the same, the guy that is stressing me with helping him move to SA knows nothing about restaurant. He presently deal on cell phones.

South African new immigration policy took effect from january 2015, it's advisable to make your permit in Nigeria b4 coming here, it's possible to get a permit here but they can cancell it if they want and claim it's a fake permit but if u come with permit from Ngeria no one can do that. apart from permit issue i dont think you have any other problem with your skill.

@ Op, Can 1 make it over there as a motor electrician

Dayhor:
