For international students
STUDY VISAS
In terms of the Immigration Act No 13 of 2002, if you are resident outside of South Africa and are not a South African citizen or do not
have permanent residence, you are required to obtain a study visa to enter the Republic for the purpose of attending the University.
The offer of a study place by the University does not bind the Department of Home Affairs in any way to allow you to study in South
Africa, nor does it remove the need for you to obtain permission to enter the country. If you are offered a study place please apply
immediately for a study visa. Your application must be made to the nearest South African Embassy, Consulate or High Commission.
This procedure could take up to 8 weeks. The application form BI-1738, duly completed, must be accompanied by the following:
We recommend that you contact the nearest South African Consulate/Embassy before sending in your visa application, in order to
find out exactly what documents are needed, because requirements may change. It is very important that your study visa is valid for
studies at the University of Cape Town. If you have studied at another South African University or attended high school in South
Africa, your study visa needs to be changed for studies at the University of Cape Town.
International students residing within South Africa will not be able to register unless in possession of a valid study visa and proof of
medical cover. International students (Master’s and Doctoral students) living outside South Africa during the academic year may be
registered by the University without having to apply for a study visa. Such students need to obtain a suitable visa when visiting UCT
and their supervisors, and on arrival in Cape Town must report to IAPO with details of their visa.
