Other international students (undergraduate level) will be required to pay twice the feesincluding all subject levies, transport levies, Admin levies, Residence and other feesrequested by the Department concerned.

Refugee students sponsored by the United Nations do no pay the SADC levy. Those whoare not sponsored pay their own fees like any local student. Legal proof of refugee statusfor the valid time period must be produced.

Non-SADC African students and Non-African international students pay fees as per thestructure below:- SADC Students pay Local Fees and a SADC Levy Non SADC students pay Local Fees and a levy of 25% of Local Fees (125% Local Fees) Non-African students pay local fees and a levy of 100% (status quo remains)

STUDY VISAS

International students – including students from Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries – are required to have study visas to study in the Republic of South Africa. DUT is not permitted to register a student unless they have a valid study visa. Your study permit needs to be valid at all times, and is issued for the duration of your study period (i.e. the minimum time it takes to qualify for the diploma/degree you are taking). If you are currently studying at a South African high school, or at another tertiary education institution in South Africa, please note that you will need to apply for a new study visa valid for DUT.

Who is exempt from this requirement? The following persons do not need a study permit, but must submit other documents to the university to register:

• Political Asylum Seekers or Refugees – An asylum seeker must have an Asylum SeekerTemporary Permit that entitles the holder to work and study. A Refugee document fortwo years automatically grants the right to study.

• Diplomatic Representatives and their families – A letter is needed from the ProtocolSection at the Department of Foreign Affairs, confirming diplomatic status in South Africa.

• Persons with permanent residence of South Africa – A Permanent Residence Permitdocument proving status must be submitted.


20 | P a g e

Visa Application Process Study visas must be applied for at a South African embassy, mission or consulate in your country of origin, or at Visa Facilitation Services (VFS) Global Centres across the country. VFS have 11 centres in the Republic of South Africa, and the Durban Centre for KZN is within walking distance of Durban University of Technology: Visa Facilitation Services Global Suite 3 – Ground Floor, 36 Silverton Road, Musgrave Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. The VFS global helpline is +27124253000. Should you wish to renew or make an application, visit http://www.vfsglobal.com/dha/southafrica/

Medical Insurance In terms of the Immigration Amendment Act 19 of 2004, any international student coming to study in the Republic of South Africa must provide proof of medical cover registered under the Medical Schemes Act 131 of 1998.This does not apply to those on Asylum Seekers’, Refugees’, or Diplomats’ visas. You cannot register at DUT without providing the International Office with proof of medical aid registered under the above-mentioned Act. It is therefore compulsory for international students to have a South African medical aid, which must be paid for upfront on an annual basis for the duration of your studies. Should you rely on sponsorship, please ensure that you advise your sponsor of this requirement as soon as you get your sponsorship or acceptance.

It is not sufficient to produce a letter indicating medical health cover sponsorship. The sponsor must organise payment for the required medical aid cover directly to the medical aid company, separate to that of the tuition fees.

The two recommended service providers, as approved by the International Education Association of South Africa (IEASA) are:

• Momentum Health (Ingwe Option) - http://www.ingwehealth.co.za Email: [email protected] • Compcare (The Network Option) http://www.studentplan.co.za Email: [email protected] Checklist for International Students The checklist below is designed to help you be prepared for your stay, and take some of the stress out of studying in a different country. Do I have South African currency? Do I have the money to pay my tuition fees? Do I have sufficient money to tide me over

for the first few days? Have I packed my study materials? Have I remembered the charger for my laptop? Have I obtained the necessary visa? Is my visa valid? Have I organised accommodation for my stay in Durban? Have I paid the accommodation deposit (if applicable)? Do I have medical insurance? N.B. This has to be taken with a South African medical aid

society. Have I taken travel insurance? This is voluntary. Have I complied with all the requirements

as conveyed to me by DUT? Have I arranged for transport from the airport to my accommodation in Durban? Have I checked that my electronic appliances will work on 220V electricity?
