Buying Tesla/International shares in South Africa

2 years 7 months ago

Hi clanners,

Is there anyone on here that is knowledgeable in this field? Which is the best platform to buy international shares (not necessarily the cheapest). I have come across a few options, but some first hand reviews would be appreciated.

I have shares which I bought on the NYSE abt fifteen years ago. I do remember that I first needed SARB foreign exchange approval and a tax clearance from SARS. It was an arduous process but glad I did. All the best.

The brokers were and still are Morgan Stanley Smith Barney.

Easiest way is to register a USD account via Easy Equities. They can do a currency conversion for you. Don't worry about tax clearances as per the other reply if it's below R1mil.
