      The costs I mentioned are for booking at the traffic department or whatever it’s called but even at a driving school it’s definitely not that much. Also I’m from Klerksdorp and I think doing your learners test classes were like R150-200 if I’m not mistaken

    Hey! Thank you soooo much for this video, it was so helpful! I have two questions though, but I'll try to keep it short.
    1. The agency I'm with mentioned something about luggage tax when you either land in New York OR you arrive at the hotel for orientation. I actually wasn't aware of this until just a few days ago. Do you know what they might be referring to and how much it costs, roughly?
    2. Sending money home. Is this possible? Would I need to open a new (U.S) bank account once I arrive or is it possible to get paid in my South African account, can SA Standard bank cards be used over there? One of the main things for me is to be able to send money home, and I'm just wondering if it's possible, and if bank fees is going to be a massive obstacle.
    Thank you so so much 🖤💕.

    • @ThatoN
      @ThatoN  Před rokem +2

      Hey
      So I have no idea what luggage tax would be
      But you have to open a new account when you get here and you can send money back home through apps that are connected to your bank here and to various people in SA
