Important : Travel to South Africa

Visitors to South Africa must have a passport that is valid for at least 30 days after the intended departure date from South Africa and 6 months after the intended departure date for the rest of Southern Africa. Passports should also have a minimum of two blank passport pages per country visited. The blank pages cannot include the endorsement page at the back of the book. If there is insufficient space in the passport, entry into a country could be denied. If you require a visa, you must ensure that your passport has two blank facing pages - one for the visa and one for the entry stamp. Visitors who intend on travelling to South Africa's neighbouring countries and back are advised to apply for multiple entry visas. Visitors must have a return ticket. It is essential that you check current visa and medical requirements at your local embassy or consulate of the country you intend to visit, prior to travelling. Please make a copy of your front and back pages of your passport.  Have a copy in your luggage and one at home.
