Documents

Your document checklist

The full list of documents in the right order — with costs, timelines and exact addresses.

What you will find inside: the full document list for South Africa and Zimbabwe — the cost, the time and the office to go to for each one.

Important rule: follow this order, start immediately, and don't delay. The police clearance (2–6 weeks) decides how fast everything else moves.

  • DIRCO cover letter + guide (PDF)

Rough document total: if your licence, PDP and passport are valid — about R1,200–2,700 when we handle the apostille, or about R350–700 when you handle it yourself. Add ~R600 for a new passport, or ~R500–1,000 to renew the licence and PDP.

What comes later: the driving test ~R700–1,000, the visa application ~R3,000–5,000 (stage 2) and the flight to Europe ~R8,500–15,000 (stage 3). We tell you now so you can plan — more in the migration and travel checklists.

These are 2026 guideline prices — institutions change them, so always check on the spot.

Only these documents are accepted — please don't send a CV or extra certificates. Submit your application only once you have all of them ready.

Documents ready? Time for the last step — the application is free.
