Medical Aid Schemes:

In terms of the Immigration Act No. 13 of 2002 as Amended and its Regulations, any prospective student to the Republic of South Africa must provide proof of medical aid cover (12 months) with a medical scheme registered in terms of the Medical Schemes Act, 1998 Act 131 of 1998. Due to changes in the Immigration Act, you are required to produce confirmation of South African Medical Aid with your study permit application. South African medical aid products are accepted by all South African Consulates when applying for a study permit.

Nelson Mandela University only accepts South African Medical Aid. The University requires proof of medical aid cover (12 months) with a South African based medical aid scheme for the full registration period. To avoid unnecessary complications, please make the necessary financial arrangements with the medical aid provider prior to your study permit application.

Students must have medical aid BEFORE arrival in South Africa as this is one of the requirements for visa application. It is compulsory to have proof of 12 months medical aid cover registered in South Africa before registration.
