The visa policy of South Africa is how the South African government determines who may and may not enter South Africa. Visitors to South Africa must obtain a visa from one of the South African diplomatic missions unless they come from one of the visa-exempt countries, in which case they get a "Port of Entry Visa". Visitors who require a visa must apply in person and provide biometric data.[1]
All visitors must hold a passport that is valid for 1 month after departure and with one blank page (two if a visa is required).[2]
The South African Government launched an e-Visa system, initially for 14 nationalities in February 2022.[3][4]
