Passport/Visa

British nationals visiting South Africa on holiday for less than 90 days do not require visas. After entry, extensions of stay may be sought from the Department of Home Affairs. If you have overstayed without authority you may be required to pay a fine, either on exit or at the nearest South African mission on your return to the UK (or elsewhere). Re-entry to South Africa will not be permitted until the fine has been paid in full. However, serious overstayers may be arrested on departure and detained before appearing in court. In such cases you may face a very substantial fine and then be deported at your own expense. Despite not needing a visa you should note that your passport must have one clear blank page for the South African entry stamp. SA Immigration officials will not allow the passport’s Child/Infant page to be used for this purpose. If you do not have a free blank page in your passport you will be denied entry. Your passports must also be valid for no less than 30 days after the end of your intended visit. Single parents or other adults travelling alone with children should be aware that some countries require documentary evidence of parental responsibility before allowing lone parents to enter the country or, in some cases, before permitting the children to leave the country.

Trivia

It takes 10 minutes to reach the summit of Table Mountain - Cape Town's famous landmark by Cableway.
