Visas
Foreign visitors should check before arriving whether a visa is required. Visas are issued free of charge. Make sure you have 2 blank pages back to back in your passport and that it is valid for at least six more months. Make sure you have a return ticket or onward available.
Drivers license requirements
If your drivers license is in any of South Africa's 11 official languages (i.e. English) and it contains a photo and your signature integrated into the license document, then it is legally acceptable as a valid drivers licence in South Africa. However, some car rental and insurance companies may still insist that you provide an International Driver's Permit. It is generally best practice to acquire an International Driver's Permit in your country of origin, prior to starting your journey, regardless of whether your license is legally acceptable or not.
