* International applicants:

​

We love having students from abroad and we are committed to making your process of coming to South Africa as stress-free as possible.

Students from overseas will need to apply for a Volunteer Visa or a Student Visa, depending on which is more acceptable in your country. (Note: visa requirements have changed in the year 2015).

​

You will need to visit your local home affairs or the South African embassy. A letter of invitation from us will be needed, which we will be happy to send once you have completed your online application.

​

This letter will explain that you will receive no remuneration or income (which is why you will be a volunteer). This letter will also outline how your services will benefit our church (thank you so much!) as well as state where you will be staying. 

​

Your visa may take up to 8 weeks to be processed, so keep this in mind when planning.
