Per UCOP, effectively immediately, the South African Immigration Service will require all foreign travelers to South Africa to have at least two (2) unused visa pages for entry/departure endorsements in their passport and passport replacing documents, each time entry is sought into South Africa. These pages are in addition to the endorsement/ amendment pages at the back of the passport. South African government regulations prohibit airlines from boarding passengers without the required blank visa pages.

Please share this visa requirement with all department personnel traveling to South Africa.
