Ref: State 019165
Congratulations on your assignment to Pretoria. You
will be part of a large and diverse team working
on a variety of interesting issues whether you work in
a regional office or strictly on a bilateral basis.
We warmly welcome you and look forward to your
arrival.
If you have particular questions concerning life in
Pretoria, please feel free to e-mail the CLO at
clopretoria@state.gov. You may also visit the Overseas
Briefing Center at FSI or access their information on
the internet at http://fsi.state.gov/. Our Embassy
internet website www.southafrica.usembassy.gov has
useful information related to the Embassy and its
operations. Any internet search engine will return a
host of information about South African culture and
leisure activities.
Please review the information in this document

¶A. CHECK-IN
Your first stop on your first day at work should be
the HR office in room 226. They will give you your
check-in package and an HR Officer will give you
a short in-brief. When you come to this meeting,
bring your passport and those of your family along
with two 2X2 photos of each person over 16 years
of age. HR needs these to begin accrediting you
and your family. If HR cannot start the process
immediately, there is a risk your temporary visas
will expire before a residency visa is granted.
¶B. ARRIVAL: PRE-ARRIVAL NOTICES
Please send a cable and an e-mail to your new office,
the CLO and HR informing them of your arrival
information as soon as you have firm travel plans.
E-mail addresses are listed at the end of this cable.
Including the following information will help
everyone at post make sure your arrival goes smoothly:
¶1. the date and time of arrival; 2. the airline
and flight number; 3. the number of accompanying
family members; 4. any pets scheduled to arrive with
you, including their sizes and breeds; and
¶5. a personal e-mail address so that we may contact
you after you leave your current assignment with
the name of your sponsor and other information.
¶C. ARRIVAL: POST-ARRIVAL AIRPORT PROCEDURES
You will be met outside the international arrivals
area by your sponsor or another U.S. mission member.
In the highly unlikely event you are not met,
please use a public phone in the terminal to call
the switchboard during business hours at
(012)-431-4000, or the Marine Guard at (012)431-4169
if you arrive after 17:00 or on a weekend or holiday.
ATMs are available in the terminal and phone shops
accept credit cards. Do not use any type of taxi or
public transportation to get to the Embassy.
¶D. DRIVER'S LICENSES
A current driver's license from another country, which
is in English and has a photograph and the signature
of the bearer, is acceptable for use in South Africa
as long as you have your South African Department of
Foreign Affairs (DFA) identity card or a copy of your
diplomatic passport and residency visa with you.
Please note that if you have a family member or member
of household who does not hold a U.S. diplomatic
passport, they must obtain an International Driver's
Permit (IDP) from AAA in the U.S. prior to arriving in
South Africa and before operating a motor vehicle.
¶E. EDUCATION
The American International School of Johannesburg
(AISJ) and the North American International School
(NAIS) both offer an American style curriculum and
school year. AISJ's Pretoria campus currently offers
grades Pre-K to 6. Contact Ben Weinberg, the school
director at +27 12 344-6242 or by e-mail
bweinberg@aisj-jhb.com for more information. AISJ's
Johannesburg campus offers Pre-K through grade 12.
Contact Elinor Parkes, the admissions director
at +27-11-464-1505 to 1508 or by e-mail
eparkes@aisj-jhb.com for more information.
The website for both campuses is: www.aisj-jhb.com.
NAIS, located in Pretoria, offers grades Pre-K through
grade 8. NAIS will open their high school program in
August 2009 starting with grade 9 using a curriculum
accredited by the University of Nebraska. Contact
Ken Baucom, the school director at +27-12-460-1154
or by e-mail kenbaucom@nais.org.za. The school's
website is www.nais.org.za. NAIS uses the North
Carolina Public School Curriculum which is accredited
by the University of Nebraska.
For a listing of local South African schools, please
contact the CLO or the Overseas Briefing Center.
The South African school year begins in mid-January
and ends in early December, with breaks throughout
the year. Some Mission members do send their children
to local schools.
Schools that accommodate children with special needs
are listed on the Pretoria Embassy website under CLO.
If you have a child with special needs, please contact
the Regional Medical Officer, the Human Resources
Officer and the Financial Management Officer. Their
e-mail addresses are listed below.
¶F. FAMILY MEMBER EMPLOYMENT
Family members who wish to work should begin looking
at the job vacancy announcements in the Jacaranda
Journal, Embassy Pretoria's weekly newsletter. They
should also request and submit a Family Member/MOH
Employment Interest form to HR. To receive the
newsletter and the form, please contact the CLO at
CLOpretoria@state.gov.
Alternatively, you can download the full vacancy
announcements for all of the Mission's current
positions,including AEFM positions, on the Embassy
intranet page at http://web.pretoria.state.gov/
sections/per/Vacancies.htm
Applicants should pay close attention to the required
qualifications section of the job vacancy
announcements. To be considered, an applicant must
meet each of the required qualifications. The Family
Member Employment Coordinator, Monica Ewing,
Ewingms@state.gov, can provide more information.
Family members interested in employment should
hand-carry paper and electronic copies of their
current resume or OF-612 and past performance reviews
with them to Post. Prior U.S. government or military
service must be referenced on the resume/OF-612 with
dates, locations and pay grades. Please provide copies
of SF-50s for U.S. Government/State Department service
or a DD-214 for military service when applying.
Pretoria has a Strategic Networking Assistance Program
(SNAP). SNAP assists spouses of direct-hire U.S.
Government employees with their search for employment
outside of the Mission. For further information on
SNAP, please contact Monica Ewing at
EwingMS@state.gov.
Eligible Family Members may apply for consular,
general services or budget and finance training at
NFATC on a space available basis through the Family
Liaison Office in Washington. If your family members
are interested, they may read more about this program
at http://www.state.gov/m/dghr/flo/.
Qat http://www.state.gov/m/dghr/flo/.
Special Note for Members of Household (MOH) regarding
Embassy employment: Mission South Africa currently is
not able to grant any hiring preference to MOH's,
although they may be considered for jobs in the
Mission. If an MOH elects to work on the local
economy, they must work with their employer to obtain
the appropriate work and residency permits.
¶G. HOUSING
Embassy Pretoria's Interagency Housing Board (IAHB)
makes all housing assignments based on your family
size, the grade of your position and 15 FAM. The GSO
Housing Office will send you a housing preference
questionnaire soon. Please complete and return it
as soon as possible so the Housing Board is able to
take your requests into consideration to the extent
they can.
Due to security concerns, Post is transitioning away
from stand-alone residences. Most available housing
units are in multi-unit compounds or gated
communities. The GSO Housing Office will provide
information on your specific house once an assignment
is made.
All quarters are fully furnished. Post will provide a
basic welcome kit until your personal
effects arrive. You will keep the welcome kit during
your tour and use it again when you are ready to
leave.
South Africa's electrical power is 220v/50 cycle.
Post provides three transformers for each household.
You will need to supply your own UPS, surge
protectors, and additional step-down transformers
if required. These are widely available in South Africa,
as are converter plugs.
South Africa can experience frequent electrical outages
country-wide. Post is currently installing generators,
but not all residences have them yet. We strongly
advise you to bring/purchase surge protection
for all sensitive electronic equipment. GSO will
advise whether your housing has a generator or not.
By regulation, gasoline-operated portable
generators are prohibited from use within 50 feet of
USG-provided quarters.
¶H. MAIL AND PACKAGES
Embassy Pretoria sends and receives all personal and
official mail via diplomatic pouch. Personal mail
should never be marked with any 'official' references.
Your new address for personal mail is:
Your Name
9300 Pretoria Place
Dulles, VA 20189-9300
Official mail is sent via the Department of State's
diplomatic pouch mailing address.
Your new address for official mail is:
Your name
Department of State
9300 Pretoria Place
Washington, DC 20521-9300
Because we send all outgoing mail via pouch, it must
adhere to the following Department of State diplomatic
pouch regulations:
Outgoing personal mail: You may send any letter or
flat from Post with appropriate postage as long as it
complies with USPS definitions (see www.usps.gov).
Merchandise ordered from a retail outlet in the U.S.
during your tour in Pretoria may be returned by pouch
with the manufacturer's pre-paid return label or
necessary postage applied. Be sure to bring an
adequate supply of postage as none are sold at Post.
Incoming personal mail: Individual boxes may not
exceed a total of 17x18x32, or 67 inches in length
(the longest dimension) plus girth (around the other
dimensions) or exceed 50 lbs. in weight. A shipment
(the combined total of all packages addressed to one
person and received on any given day at the central
pouch facility) cannot exceed 250 pounds nor can it
occupy more than six cubic feet of area
(about the size of five boxes of copier paper).
¶I. MEDICAL
No vaccinations are required for entry into South
Africa if you are coming from the United States,
Europe or Asia. However, travelers coming directly
from countries where yellow fever is prevalent must
have proof of valid yellow fever vaccination given in
the last 10 years. The Embassy Health Unit recommends
that all incoming personnel be vaccinated against
Hepatitis A and B and Typhoid. There is no risk of
malaria in Pretoria. However, malaria prophylaxis will
be recommended and provided, if you travel to certain
regions of South Africa or other countries in the
area. The Health Unit will give you a briefing during
your first week at Post to clarify risk areas.
¶J. PASSPORT REQUIREMENTS
South African immigration authorities will not let you
enter South Africa unless you have two blank,
adjoining visa pages in your passport. They will also
deny you entry if your passport is not valid for at
least six months after your arrival. If you or anyone
in your family has a passport that will expire during
your tour, we highly recommend that you obtain new
ones valid for the entire length of your tour. This
will eliminate the need to obtain new visas and
diplomatic IDs in the middle of your tour, which is a
lengthy process that results in you and your family
being without passports and diplomatic identification
until the South African Department of Foreign Affairs
(DFA) issues new versions of both.
Bring certified copies of marriage/birth/adoption
certificates with you to Post as well if anyone on
your orders does not share your last name. The DFA
requires this documentation before they will issue a
Diplomatic ID or residency visa.
Special note for regional personnel regarding
passports: If you plan to use multiple passports for
your travel, please be aware that the DFA will only
issue one South African residency visa. Contact your
new office in Pretoria for details about arranging
visas for travel to your serviced posts prior to
arrival in South Africa.
Special note about private servants regarding
passports: South Africa allows diplomats to bring one
private servant with them to Post. The same passport
requirements that apply to Diplomats also apply to
private servants, so please ensure your staff's
passports are in order. South Africa only processes
visas for domestic servants after you are fully
accredited, so they should arrive with visas valid for
at least 90 days.
¶K. PETS
Owners shipping pets to Post should contact Beverly
Paolini at JoosteBA@state.gov in GSO Shipping. She
will step you through the process of getting your pet
to South Africa, and can provide a list of pet travel
agencies that can assist you. All pets must have an
implanted microchip, and owners must have the chip
details. If a pet has been in the U.S. for at least
six months, it will not be quarantined in South Africa.
The quarantine times for pets arriving from other
countries varies.
Please be aware that if your housing is in a compound,
you will most likely have only a small yard. Walking
pets along the street, especially after dark, isn't
wise due to security concerns. Please check with the
GSO Housing Office on this point before deciding to
ship a pet to Post.
¶L. SECURITY
All new arrivals must schedule an RSO briefing for
themselves and their adult family members at the
earliest opportunity. Scheduling information is in the
check-in package provided by HR. All American
personnel under Chief of Mission authority must
complete an overseas personal security training course
before coming to Post. State employees should ask
Qbefore coming to Post. State employees should ask
their CDOs to schedule them as appropriate.
Employees of other agencies should contact the office
that coordinates their assignment to ensure they meet
all security-training requirements.
South Africa is a critical crime threat post, and
maximum vigilance must be exercised at all times. Do
not wear expensive, flashy jewelry in public or show
large amounts of money after you arrive in South
Africa. At OR Tambo International Airport in
Johannesburg, be aware of the possibility of petty
crime, including baggage theft and pilferage. Post
strongly recommends that travelers not place
electronics, jewelry, cameras or other valuables
in checked luggage. Make an inventory of items in
checked baggage to aid in claims processing if theft
does occur.
After you and your sponsor arrive at your house, your
sponsor will show you how to use your alarm system.
Personnel are strongly encouraged to use all
residential security features such as grilled doors
and locks to make sure your residence is as secure as
possible. At a minimum, always set your alarm when
you leave your residence and before you go to bed.
¶M. VEHICLES
No left-hand drive vehicles may be imported into South
Africa. Since South Africa changes the requirements
concerning the importation, purchase and sale of
motor vehicles often, please refer to the shipping
instruction cable sent by GSO for the latest
information on vehicles.
If you need information on purchasing a vehicle before
or after you arrive at Post, contact Jolene Ehlers at
ehlersjx@state.gov or (27)(12)431-4048 (Department of
State diplomats) or Cindy Lou Mouton on
(27)(12)431-4270 (all non-Department of State agency
diplomats)or by e-mail at moutoncl@state.gov. They
can provide you with any information you may need.
Please bear in mind that duty-free vehicles cannot
be registered until the South African Department of
Foreign Affairs has issued you your Diplomatic
Identity Card which may take up to one month.
¶N. VISAS
Visas are not required for your initial entry into
South Africa. If you are traveling with non-U.S.
citizens, they may need a visa to enter South Africa.
Please check with HR Pretoria on your specific
circumstances. Contact information is listed at the
end of this cable.
Special note about Members of Household (MOH)
regarding visas: The DFA only defines MOH as
common-law partner of more than two years or
private domestic servant. If you and your partner
have been together for at least two years, DFA will
require documentation to that effect. DFA grants
renewable one-year residency visas to private
domestic staff. The DFA reviews visa requests for
MOH who do not fall into the preceding categories
on a case-by-case basis.
If you are bringing or contemplating bringing a Member
of Household with you, please immediately contact
the Human Resources Office at
PretoriaIncoming@state.gov.
