IMMIGRATION INFORMATION FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

All International students, including those with refugee status and one ordinarily resident in Zambia, should, upon being accepted to study at
Cavendish University Zambia, apply for a Student Permit before travel to Zambia, if outside Zambia at the point of acceptance. Applications should be
lodged with the Head Office of Zambia Immigration Lusaka or through the agency of the Zambian Mission in their Republic or Monarch if immigration
services are provided. Students are urged to visit the Immigration website at https://www.zambiaimmigration.gov.zm/ to get the necessary guide. The
estimated cost of the study permit is K6,820 or approximately US$ equivalent (US$310≈). Medical examinations relevant for processing of a study
permit and also for enrolment (in case of Medical / Nursing and Midwifery Students) should be done at a Public Hospital in Zambia and not in the
country of origin. In this regard, students facing challenges to complete the application for study permit processes in their countries, are advised to
travel to Lusaka, at a time coinciding with commencement of the respective semester, and at the port of entry, apply for a business visa. Business
visas are valid for 30 days, providing students with enough time to complete the student visa process. The study permit can later be applied for while
in Zambia but within the period of validity of the business visa. No person enrolled for full time studies can enter on a visitors’ visa. An application for a
study permit while in possession of a visitors’ visa is not allowed.
