MANDATORY MEDICAL AID COVER FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

VISITORS TO PRETORIA

University Recommendation for Medical Aid Coverage

Under South African immigration law, all international students studying on a Study Visa must maintain active cover with a registered local medical scheme. Explore approved providers, coverage benefits, and how to activate your cover before arriving in Pretoria.

As a student, your health and well-being are of utmost importance to us. Whether you're a local or international student, ensuring you have adequate medical aid coverage is a vital part of your academic journey.

Tailor-made benefits for students

Some medical schemes group benefits under one limit. They might argue that it gives you flexibility, but it also limits your benefits. The Ingwe Option offers separate benefits for out-of-network/emergency visits, optometry, dentistry, specialists, pathology and radiology.
