Mara Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 I went and checked the site, just for interest, and found that it says that you do not need a visa for Australia or NZ as a SA passport holder. Now we all now that is not true. So wonder when last they remembered to update it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTrotter Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_passportWikipedia has the best list I've found so far. Basically Asia and South America is relatively visa free for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 South Africa as far as I know held the point of view if the other country requires a visa from SA, SA also requires visas from them. Tit-for-tat kinda principle and that is how I understood it to be.I understood that within the Common Weath countries it was not required, but I was very wrong about that one!

Alibaba Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Do you want to know for a specific country or is it just out of curiosity? The travel agents usually know too. I never needed one for the UK and Switzerland, but I think we need for any other country. Perhaps I am wrong, but you can trust me on the 2 I mentioned.
