Whether you need a visa to visit South Africa depends on your country of citizenship. Many countries are exempt from South African visas for stays of up to 90 days, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, among others. Some nationalities are allowed up to 30 days without a visa. However, if your country does not have a visa exemption agreement with South Africa, you will need to apply for a visa before arrival. Please check the latest visa requirements from the South African Department of Home Affairs or your local South African embassy as these regulations can change
