Many travelers can enter South Africa without a visa for short stays, while others may need to secure one in advance.  American citizens do not need a visa for tourist visits up to 90 days, but your passport must be valid for at least 30 days after departure and have at least two blank pages. Always check the current regulations from your government or the South African consulate before your trip.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality. Many countries have visa-free access for short tourist visits, but it’s best to check the official South African government website or your local embassy for the most accurate and updated information.
