GET YOUR VISA SORTED
Foreign professional teams are
required to have the correct
visas in place before they
travel to South Africa. Your
local service provider will have
access to FIVA – Film Industry
Visa Assistance, and as a
result significant waivers in the
immigration regulations will apply
to you.
These waivers include an
Oversight category which
will allow a large portion of
your production to travel to
SA without requiring work
authorisation. You will also have
access to waivers which limit
the amount of paperwork which
needs to be submitted for
Specialist travellers as well as a
dedicated office to resolve any
bottlenecks which might occur.
Please note that without a
FIVA letter obtained through
your SA service company, you
would require s11.2 Visitors
Visas with work authorisation
for your entire team if travelling
to SA. All personnel would
need to appear in person at the
South African Consulate in your
home country, please consult
the individual South African
Consulate website for your
home country for more details.
ALL VISAS VOID DUE TO
COVID-19 LOCKDOWN
The ongoing COVID-19
pandemic has resulted in
all approved visas being
cancelled. Please check for
updates on the relevant
government websites
and with your local
production company.
