Looking for more info & costs?

* 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.
