VISA
REQUIREMENTS FOR SOUTHERN AFRICA
Whilst WILDFRONTIER AFRICA TRAVEL does
not arrange visas, the following information has been provided to assist you in
finding out the visa requirements for the passport that you are holding. While
every effort is made to keep this information updated, it is subject to change
and it is advised that you check what the latest requirements are before you
travel.
What is a visa?
A
visa ensures that you are properly screened before entering the country, and
gives immigration officials the information they need to ensure you are admitted
to the visiting country for the correct purpose and length of time.
A
visa doesn't guarantee you entry to the country – it only allows you to proceed
to a port of entry, where an immigration officer will check that you satisfy
the basic requirements for entry into the country.
What are the requirements for entering
Southern Africa?
Ø A valid
acceptable passport or travel document good for a sufficient period to cover
your intended stay.
Ø A valid
visa, if required.
Ø Sufficient
funds.
Ø A return
or onward ticket.
Ø At least
two blank pages in your passport.
Ø Yellow
fever certificates are required if the journey starts or entails passing
through the yellow fever belt of Africa.
Get your visa before leaving for Southern Africa
If
you are subject to visa requirements, you should apply for your visa at least
four weeks before your departure for Southern Africa, and await the
outcome of your application before departing. Visas are not always issued
at Southern Africa ports of entry, and airline officials are obliged to insist
on visas before allowing passengers to board. If you arrive without a visa,
immigration officials are obliged by law to refuse you entry to Southern Africa
and to place you on a return flight to your country.
