Im for jan 21 intake. VFS offices will open next month, hopefully. I’ll be applying under SDS

Hi can you apply in sds if you have a gap or 5 years after your bachelor's degree ?

I can use SDS.
Gap in studies is NOT a criterion for SDS.

If I have not been working or studying, I will choose to explain my gap in a Letter of Explanation and attach to Client Information.

Thanks for clarifying! My program is of 8 months duration so if I apply in sds category would I have to pay the full fees?
