Passport and VISA requirements
Visitors from outside South Africa must possess a passport or travel document valid for no less than 30 days after the expiry of your intended visit.
Visitors must produce a valid visa before entering South Africa; they are not issued at South African ports of entry. Visitors’ visas are issued for a visit for tourism or business purposes and are valid for a period of 90 days. Some countries are exempted from visa control, which means that citizens from those countries do not need a visa to visit South Africa. Participants requiring a visa should apply as soon as possible to the South African embassy, mission or consulate in their countries to avoid inconvenience.
Visit the website of South Africa’s Department of Home Affairs for visa information, particularly the section on Requirements for entering South Africa. Important: “Your passport must have at least TWO unused page for entry / departure endorsements”.
