Block Release Students

Portuguese

French

These are students who attend university for a period of less than three consecutive months. These students may enter South Africa on a visitor's visa and are therefore not required to obtain a study visa. Block release students are also exempted from the requirement of medical aid cover, however it is recommended.

Please Note: Registered students are legally required to update their records with the Wits International Office each time they enter the Republic of South Africa to continue their Block Release programme.
