Visa information

Countries Exempt from South African Visas: South Africa allows citizens of certain countries to enter without obtaining a visa. This is typically for short stays. Examples include Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and others. The list may change, so check the latest information on this link.

Countries, including the United States, Canada, the European Union member states, and those that hold a Schengen visa, are exempt from obtaining a visa for short stays (usually up to 90 days) for tourism or business purposes.  

Visa / E-Visa Process:  Eligible citizens can apply through the South Africa eVisa application online.

We advise all delegates to apply for their visa as soon as possible to avoid any delays with the visa process.
