By locationThe official, practical side of being South African abroad.
Home Affairs launched a new digital ETA system in August 2026, replacing the old paper-based process — it uses automated risk screening and links directly to your passport.
Since 1 July 2026, everyone entering or leaving South Africa (air, land, sea or rail) must submit an online declaration via SARS within 24 hours of departure — required if carrying cash, commercial goods, or anything over the R5,000 duty-free allowance.
South African citizens, including dual nationals, must always enter and exit South Africa on their South African passport.
Your passport should generally be valid at least 30 days past your departure date from SA — but many destination countries require 6 months' validity, so check both, and make sure you have enough blank pages.
Children need a machine-readable passport plus supporting documents — an Unabridged Birth Certificate or parental consent affidavit, depending on the situation.
