Submission of application documents to SAQA

• SAQA will continue the existing arrangement of receiving applications by e-mail beyond 31 May 2020. Applicants must follow the procedure below:

1. After submitting their applications online, put together the necessary documentation and e-mail this to foreignapplications@saqa.org.za. Note that this mailbox will be used exclusively for this purpose and no other communication received here will be entertained.
2. The documentation to be attached to an application e-mail must include all the following:

   3. A copy of the ID document of the qualification holder;
   4. Proof of payment of the amount indicated on the application form, which is also a pro forma invoice, showing the online submission number (e.g. 202005135010) as payment reference; and
   5. A complete set of qualification documents in line with the document “What must be submitted” that applicant can access on the online application system
3. No documents need to be certified as true copies of originals. However, if originals are available applicants must please scan those instead of copies, to enhance legibility.
4. Use the online submission number (e.g. 202005135010) as the subject line of the e-mail.
