Recommendation needed for companies helping with Financial Emigration

[IzzyA]

Hi all,

 

With the new tax laws potentially coming into affect next year (March 2020), I am looking to financially emigrate as well.  

Can you recommend companies that you have dealt with that you were happy with?  

Estimated cost involved?

I used Tanya from Sable International, 

 

Each case would be unique so they would have to quote based on what your move would include.

Hi Izzy,  This is the next hot topic, I think!  I've seen another thread where a number of different consultants were discussed.  See this post.  I'd be interested to hear from others with recent experience, who is recommended.

I recently found out that the South African banks actually assist their clients with the financial emigration process, at a fraction of the cost that consultants would charge you.  Maybe check on your bank's website for more information regarding this.

I was quoted R19 000 per person! I might try it myself rather!

Hi Jobizzle, 

 

Who quoted you that? 

 

 I’m also looking at doing it myself, but it involves both your bank and SARS, since you have to get an Emigration tax clearance certificate.

It was Exchange for free, they have been great with sending money. but that quote gave me a shock!

Just got a quote from Incompass for R10000. Standard Bank have quoted R1589 to submit the SARB application plus R476 per hour thereafter.  No idea what the “thereafter” means!  This is the do-it-yourself option.
