Visa Information

When you enter South Africa for a visit, this will be on a visitor's visa which grants you the right to remain in the country for a set period. This is normally 3 months, but please be sure to check and make sure that your passport is stamped correctly when you enter.

Should you want to stay longer than 3 months, please apply for an extended visa from your country before your trip, as your application for extension may be refused if you apply once here, particularly if your plane ticket indicates that you had originally intended staying longer than 3 months in the first place.

There are certain countries for whom the granting of a 3 month visa is automatic at the South African port of entry, while others have to make special application for a visa before leaving their country. All visitor visas are however free.

Even if you are traveling on a passport from a country with an automatic visa, this only applies to the initial period and not any extended period beyond that.

A list of countries that currently enjoy automatic visitor visas, as well as further information regarding different types of visas, immigration, etc. is available from the official government site click here.
