I receive regular Photography and Accommodation bookings from abroad. Herewith some important booking / payment procedures for prospective international clients or guests viewing the Vernon Chalmers Photography or Accommodation websites to assist with itinerary decisions.
International Pricing for Photography Tours / Training
I do not charge different rates from my local South African Rand (ZAR) currency (as specified on my websites / Social Media posts). All international currency quotations, proposals and invoices are directly quoted against any international currency on any business day/ or end of financial week (if requested over a weekend). All quotes, proposals and invoices will specify the ZAR value and adjacent the international currency of choice.

Vernon Chalmers Photography International Payments
Unfortunately I do not accept any Paypal fund transfers. All international quotations, invoices and / or proposals will have all my required international banking / Inward Payment required information for wire transfers / payments. Any prospective international client is welcome to Contact me for any additional information. I am currently investigating other means of direct cost-effective transfers, but prefer the above wire payment option.
A recent Dollar wire transfer into my bank account processed in less 12 hours to clear via my bank's Inward Payment department. The complete process from releasing the $ funds until receipt in ZAR into my account was well-documented and secure.
Note: For international Photography Tours and Training I require 21-30 days notice for a booking. This is mainly due to my personal availability. Should I be available I will prepare the required quotation, invoice or proposal as soon as possible with a 50% payment due within 5 working days (due to currency fluctuations) and the balance of payment due before arrival. The second payment will be fixed at the rate of the first 50%. A ZAR cash payment for the second 50% will also be accepted. Contact me for discussing transaction / payment detail.
