International Students Permit

Study Permit Requirements

According to the Immigration Control Act of 19 August 1993, all International students (SADC and Non-SADC) should be in possession of a valid approved Study Permit and Visa before entering Namibia for the purpose of studying.

Only persons with permanent Namibian Residence, Refugees or Asylum Seekers and Diplomatic representatives are exempted from applying for a Study Permit and Visa. The mentioned categories are exempted on condition that they provide the relevant documentation (i.e. Permanent Residence Permit, approved and endorsed Refugee / Political Asylum Seekers status, a Courtesy Visa which confirms diplomatic status).

The Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration issue study permits to students after registration on condition that the following requirements are met:

• All senior students will be allowed into the country with their valid Study Visa which expires on 28 February 2020.
• Senior students will be allowed to register but need to meet the following requirements before renewal of their Study Visas:
• The National Institute of Technology (NIT) is also requested to provide progress reports of each international student after each semester.
