Why applications on this route get refused

  • Submitting uncertified copies

    The Ministry of Home Affairs states that all copies submitted with a Temporary Residence Permit application must be certified.

    How to avoid it: Get every copied document (passport, certificates, etc.) certified before you submit your application.

  • Missing letter from your school or the Ministry of Education

    The student permit checklist requires both a letter from your institution and a support letter from the Ministry of Education.

    How to avoid it: Confirm you have both letters, correctly addressed and signed, before you apply.

  • Missing police clearance (if you are over 18)

    Applicants above 18 years old must include a police clearance certificate from their country of origin.

    How to avoid it: Request your police clearance certificate early, since it can take time to arrive from your home country.

  • Applying for an entry visa instead of a permit

    The Ministry of Home Affairs states that a Eswatini visa is only for tourists, volunteers, interns and business visitors, anyone wanting to study needs a Temporary Residence Permit instead, with different requirements.

    How to avoid it: Apply for the Temporary Residence Permit (Students) from the start, not an entry visa, if you plan to study in Eswatini.

Every report is personal: a document check is built from one person's own answers and documents, so two people on this route can get different results. Run your own check rather than relying on a friend's or relative's; each person is responsible for their own application.
