Should you not pass our vetting procedures*, your deposit will be refunded. We have chosen to partner with Afri-pay to effect international fund transfers. You will be asked to make payment into a bank account in your own country and currency . If you prefer, you can arrange to make payment directly into our South African bank account or by using Paypal. At the current time, we do not accept credit cards because South African bank regulations do not permit foreign credit card transactions to be processed online.
Travel Arrangements
You will probably need a visa to travel to South Africa. You will find the visa application form and other relevant downloads in the downloads section. You can obtain your visa at your nearest South African embassy or consulate. To find out more, we suggest you visit the South African Department of Home Affairs website.
Should you have any other travel related queries, our representatives, Simone and Helena will be able to assist you.
