South African Visa Requirements

<< Back


South African FlagCurrently entry permits are issued on arrival to holiday visitors from most British Commonwealth countries and to holders of Japanese, Irish, Swiss and German passports.

Currently holders of Scandinavian and Finnish passports do not require visa but this situation could change and it is advisable to check with your nearest South African Embassy/Consular.

It is possible that on arriving into South Africa, you will be asked to show sufficient funds to support your stay or have an onward ticket.

Visa extensions are expensive and can be difficult to obtain because of the recent influx of illegal immigrants into South Africa.
