Details about Visa:

• If you are an international student intending to study in South Africa – whether at a primary, secondary, or tertiary educational institution – you must first apply for and be granted a study permit. A South African educational institution cannot register an international student until a valid study permit has been issued.
• Or if one is doing the job over there any family member he/she also needs study permit too.
• One must apply for a study permit before leaving South Africa. The fact that you have been accepted by a South African educational institution does not guarantee that you will be issued a study permit. And you cannot enter South Africa on a visitor’s visa and then apply for a study permit.

How to Apply for a Study Permit:

• For a study permit, one must have to receive the acceptance letter from the educational institute where the student is enrolled and submit the application and study permit to the nearest South African Abroad office.
• All travelers will need a passport valid for at least 90 days following your departure date from South Africa. However, we strongly recommend traveling with 6 months validity on your passport at all times.

• Proof that you are financially able to pay your tuition fees and have adequate means of support. You will need to submit three months’ worth of bank statements.
• Proof of medical or health insurance coverage that is registered or recognized in South Africa.
• A repatriation guarantee. Unless you have a written undertaking of support from a South African, you will need to lodge a cash deposit equivalent to the value of a return ticket. In the case of African students, proof that your country has signed a written undertaking to pay costs for deportation should it become necessary. However, if your course is less than a year, or you will be attending a religious institution, you will be exempt from this requirement, and you only need a valid return/onward ticket.
• A medical certificate and a radiological report (chest X-ray) or skin TB test.
• If you a minor – that is, under 18 – you will need to write permission from both parents or sole custody parent, along with proof of sole custody.
