Entry requirements

The entry into South Africa is the most straightforward and simple. Upon arrival in South Africa receive citizens from Scandinavia, United States and most EU countries automatically get free entry ticker (Entry Permit Sticker), which designates how long they may remain in the country. This automatic entry permit is usually up to 90 days, although the immigration officials at the period specified in the airfare will cut time. For nationals of some other countries also applies this permission, but only for up to 30 days. If visitors are planning a longer stay, they must apply for a visa, because the automatic entry permit might not be enough. Detailed information on entry requirements can be found on the comprehensive website of the South African Home Affairs Department.
