Students can apply to stay in Eswatini while attending an accepted course. The application uses Form 10 with letters from the institution and the Ministry of Education. Personal documents and the applicable police clearance must accompany the course evidence. An offer of admission alone does not complete Eswatini's permission to remain for study.
