This article will help you on how pay CAO application fee online and physically for the south African citizen and non International applicants.
Applicants must pay an application fee to the Central Application Office (CAO). Theirs works a little differently than most college and university applications, though. It’s more of an administration fee.

You only have to pay CAO one administration fee to apply for up to six different programs at any of the schools that work with CAO. When you apply to an institution, they won’t be able to see your application until they get the fee.

This means that if you use CAO to apply to all universities in the province, you only have to pay one application fee.

This fee can’t be refunded. The following are CAO administration fees:

For classes to start in January:

  • If the fee is sent to the CAO before October 31, SA citizens pay R250 and international applicants pay R300.
  • If the fee gets to the CAO on or after November 1, it will cost R470 for South Africans and R580 for people from other countries.

To begin classes in July:

  • If the fee is sent to the CAO before May 31, SA citizens pay R250 and international applicants pay R300.
  • If the fee gets to the CAO on or after June 1, it will be R470 for South Africans and R580 for people from other countries.

Here’s how to pay the management fee:
