You should apply only after getting your Grade 12 scores. As the whole process takes months, you should aim for Sep 2025 intake.

Once you get your visa, you can book your flight tickets. It is advisable to reach the location/university a week or two in advance from the orientation date. Currently, you need to check the covid guidelines as well, whether they require quarantine.
