If your course is shorter than 90 days, you may not need a visa. Many nationalities can enter South Africa visa-free for short stays.
However, visa policies can change, so we strongly recommend checking the latest entry requirements with the South African embassy or consulate in your country before booking. Should a visa be required, we will gladly provide the necessary documents, such as the official course confirmation, to support your application. Our team is here to help make the process as smooth as possible.
Unfortunately, students attending short-term language courses on a tourist visa are not permitted to work in South Africa. Work rights are generally restricted to those on long-term study visas for academic programmes. If you're planning to combine work and study, it's important to clarify your visa type and goals in advance. Sprachcaffe's team can guide you on what's allowed based on the length and purpose of your stay.
