If you currently live in Africa or Pakistan, you may need to apply through an authorised agent. This is because of the large number of applications we receive from your region. If there is no agent in your region, please complete this webform so we can help you.

You do not need to apply through an agent if:

  • You are applying for a PhD
  • You currently live in Mauritius or South Africa
