A Visitor’s Visa is a temporary visa that allows individuals to visit South Africa for various purposes such as tourism, business, or visiting family and friends. Eligibility depends on the specific purpose of the visit and the applicant’s circumstances.
South Africa offers various types of Visitor’s Visas, including Tourist Visas, Business Visas, and Relative’s Visas. Each visa type has specific requirements and conditions.
The duration of stay depends on the type of Visitor’s Visa granted. Typically, Tourist Visas allow stays of up to 90 days, while Business Visas and Relative’s Visas have different validity periods.
In some cases, it may be possible to extend your Visitor’s Visa if you need to stay in South Africa for a longer period. Extension requirements and conditions vary depending on the visa type.
Business Visas allow individuals to engage in specific business activities while in South Africa, such as attending meetings, conferences, or exploring business opportunities. However, certain activities may require additional permits or endorsements.
The list of countries exempt from applying for a visitor visa to South Africa is regularly updated on the Department of Home Affairs website. It’s recommended to check the latest information on the website.
A typical visitor’s visa, also known as a tourist visa, may allow a person to stay for up to 90 days, but in some circumstances, it may be extended for an additional 90 days.
There are several visa subcategories that make up long-stay visitor visas. A potential applicant may be eligible for a long stay visa if they are an accompanying spouse or life partner to a foreign national who holds or qualifies for a valid work visa, study visa, business visa, retirement visa, relative’s visa, treaty visa or crew visa, among other criteria.
A visitor’s visa is not meant to be a visa for business trips. For such a visit to South Africa, a short-term work visa should be considered.
