Immunisation<br />
The region is free of Malaria. It is, however, advisable<br />
to take precautions when visiting the low-lying areas of<br />
coastal Zululand and Maputaland, especially close to the<br />
Mozambique and Swaziland borders.<br />
Requirements for entering South Africa<br />
You will need the following to visit South Africa:<br />
• A valid passport or travel document for your intended stay;<br />
• At least one blank page in your passport for endorsements;<br />
• A valid visa, if required;<br />
• Sufficient funds to pay for your day-to-day expenses during<br />
your stay;<br />
• A return or onward ticket;<br />
• Yellow fever certificates if your journey starts or entails<br />
passing through the yellow fever belt of Africa or South<br />
America;<br />
• Amended allowances now require South African children<br />
travelling through South African borders to have their<br />
parents’ identification and citizenship details printed in<br />
their passports, doing away with the requirement to carry<br />
unabridged birth certificates on entry or exit;<br />
• For inbound travellers, the proof of original birth certificates<br />
or certified copies is only be required during the visa<br />
application process; and<br />
• Travellers from visa-exempt countries travelling with children<br />
are strongly advised to bring with them proof of the relation<br />

Visas<br />
A visa will allow you to travel to a South African port of entry where<br />
an immigration official will then determine if you are allowed to<br />
enter and for how long you may stay. Visitors are restricted to the<br />
activity or reason for which their visas were issued. On entry, a visa<br />
is considered to be a visitor’s permit. The permit’s period of validity<br />
is calculated from the date of entry. You must ensure that you apply<br />
for the correct visa/permit. Entry into the country may be refused if<br />
the purpose of the visit was not correctly stated. Each application<br />
is treated as an individual case and you should make enquiries with<br />
your nearest South African mission, consulate abroad or any office<br />
of the Department of Home Affairs. Chinese tourists travelling<br />
to South Africa can now have their visitor’s visa applications<br />
submitted by certain accredited tour operators, and no longer have<br />
to do so in person. A visa waiver has been granted for ordinary<br />
passport holders of the Russian Federation for a period of 90 days.<br />
In 2016, the Department of Home Affairs approved the granting<br />
of 10-year multiple entry visas to business people and academics<br />
from Africa. Those looking to renew their visa while in the country<br />
must do so 60 days before the current one expires. Fines will no<br />
longer be charged for overstaying. Persons who overstay for a<br />
prescribed number of times will be declared as undesirable. Is it<br />
no longer possible to change from a Visitor’s Visa to another visa<br />
category within South Africa.<br />
