I am not a South African but would like to study here. What must I do?

All NON-South African citizens 
and NON-permanent residents 
are required to obtain a study permit prior to registering as students.
Application for study permits should be submitted to the South African Home Affairs, Consulate or High Commissioner in your country or residence/origin.
It would be in favour of the educational institution where you intend studying. It would be submitted during registrations.
CAREER PLANET offers information about various institutions of learning – you will need to research what each one offers and where you can study.
