South Africa eVisa for Egyptian citizens
South Africa eVisa for Egyptians at a glance
Egyptians need a visitor visa for South Africa, and Egypt is on the eVisa-eligible list. Apply online for the Port of Entry eVisa - it needs a few supporting documents, so we check everything before submission.
Good to know: the eVisa is issued for entry at O.R. Tambo International Airport (Johannesburg), and processing is slower than most visas. It is a visitor visa for tourism, family, business or medical visits - not work, study or residence.
