Around 3,000 feet above ground.
This is to allow enough time to perform your emergency procedures in case of emergency. But also to do your canopy (parachute) checks and to position yourself for your landing.
In South Africa the rule is that you must have an open parachute on 1,200 feet above ground.
Depending on your speed and type, size and pack of your parachute, it may require anything from 300 to 800 feet for you parachute to open.
