Hi everyone

we still live in south africa, and are looking to immigrate. My husband is a maintenance / pump fitter..what is the chances of getting a job before immigrating.
and also, will we have problems immigrating because of my daughter who has downs syndrome?
thanks

I honestly think you will not find work in Thailand for your husband as the job is not a specialist skill and can be done by a local.

As far as immigrating with your daughter you would have to have your own private medical insurance which is expensive as your daughter has a pre existing problem.

I suggest your husband does an online search for oil and gas companies who may need someone with his skills.

Dear Heletje,

In my opinion you should try at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for the job in that skill. I think you may be suitably paid for your type of job.
