1.0 INTRODUCTION

Heedmorine Municipal Institute recognizes the fact that academic Excellence can be best attained with the engagement of professionals from the world over in all programs that are run by HEED. Student Exchange and Conference Co-ordination are arguably the main programs that are proximal to the latter statement. Suffice it to mention that Student Exchange and Conference Co-ordination have the potential to attract over 5 000 foreign participants per year.

The large volume of anticipated foreign participants in the Student Exchange and Conference Co-ordination programs compels Heedmorine Municipal Institute to guide potential visitors to South Africa on the following:

• Whether a Visa will be needed as a pre-requisite for entering South Africa
• Visa Application Procedures and processes (where applicable)
• How to obtain South African Visa Application Procedures

Please refer to point 2 below for pertinent answers regarding South African Visa requirements and procedures
