Note that SA passport holders do not need a study visa to study in the Republic of Ireland! However, you must register at a local immigration office and get an Irish Residence Permit (IRP) if studying for more than three months. This requires you to have 3 000 euros in your bank account and proof of private medical insurance.

The CAO oversees undergraduate applications to colleges and universities in the Republic of Ireland with a mission to process applications fairly and efficiently for EU citizens. If you have not been resident in the EU, you likely will NOT be able to use the CAO and will need to apply directly to the higher education institution (HEI). It is important to check with the university or institution.

There are agents in South Africa (e.g. Global Education) representing many of the Irish HEIs who can process applications, largely free of charge. Heidi Sulcas has worked closely with Education in Ireland and can advise on Irish unis and the application process.
