If you\u2019re a South African passport holder, you\u2019re in luck. Saffas can travel to more than 100 lekker<\/em> destinations – from tropical islands to historical cities – without having to apply for a visa in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the African continent, you can get your safari on in Botswana, Namibia and Zambia. If you\u2019re looking for a beach holiday, choose between the stunning islands of the Maldives, Mauritius and Seychelles. Or, if you\u2019d prefer a kiff city-based break, visit South Korea or Hong Kong. Feeling adventurous? Explore the scenery of Brazil, Chile or Ecuador. And that\u2019s not all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visa on Arrival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Getting your visa on arrival is mostly a hassle-free process. You don\u2019t need to apply in advance, you simply fill out some paperwork at the destination airport. Some are free of charge, others are paid for. Do research before you travel, and make sure you have the right amount in the approved currency when you arrive at the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
