Some info needed please...

Hi all,

I hope you all are well?

I need some help please. My husband and myself are looking for options abroad. Namibia is my first choice. We live in SA and my husband is a electrical sales rep (16 years experience) also ex-fire fighter. I am managing a physiotherapy practice here (13 years experience in admin). Doing everything, billing, accounts etc. We have a 3 year old boy. I need some info if you guys can maybe help me answer the following questions?

1.  Who can I contact to get some information, maybe a consulate or so?
2.  What do I have to do to become a citizen? Apart from applying, what other things do I need to do?
3.  Is there a specific amount of cash one needs to have in bank account?
4.  We own a property here, and the house is bonded. Would that be a problem? Can one move to Namibia with South African debt or do you have to be debt free?
5.  I also read up Namibians have medical insurance, how does that compare to South Africa's medical aids?
6.  And if you can maybe help me with information on schooling please?
7.  Also what area would you recommend with a small child?

If we can start there I would greatly appreciate that. I am clueless - don't know where to start :shy

Many thanks,
Tania

How about you introduce yourself and give us a little information about yourself and the reason why you wish to contact  someone in Namibia.
Without this I do not think you will get any replies.

Hi Tania/ Fanie

My name is Cindy. My husband's work offered him a job in Namibia.
I also had a few questions.

I see you posted your post in 2013. I cannot find a reply where anyone has answered your questions, im interested in the debt question. So could you go over while you have debt in SA?

Regards
Cinds
