South Africa Visa

Visitor visas for Cape Town, Johannesburg and safari country — lodged via VFS.

South Africa's visitor visa is lodged through VFS Global in Lagos or Abuja with in-person biometrics. Files are assessed on financials, itinerary and supporting documents, and processing usually completes within two to four weeks.

We compile your application to Home Affairs standards — including the details travellers commonly miss, like yellow fever certificates and proof of sufficient funds — and align approval timing with our Cape Town packages.
