Just got off from the phone with a friend who is a guide in South Africa.
He stated that South Africa is planning on requiring visitors to get a VISA prior to leaving from the States to visit RSA.
Has anyone else heard of this being in the pipeline?

We just had a group return from Africa this past week and I also purchased tickets to Zim and RSA this past Wednesday. All with no mention of this.

US citizens do not require a visa for South Africa.

Saeed has this one covered...

There is talk of making it harder for foreign citizens to enter the country.

They seem to be looking for new ways to kill the economy, but until you hear from your PH etc I would not worry about it

Thank you, It was reported to me as something that has not been implemented but has been table for discussion. Simply been trying to see if it was just an ugly rumor or if there was any validity to it.

There may be, or there may not be, any validity in rumors that US citizens may need a Visa in future to enter South Africa. However, what Hunting the Box H has said that you should regard as Gospel is that " they [the ANC Terrorists who are mismanaging our country] seem to be looking for new ways to kill the economy, ". Insisting on USA citizens getting a Visa before coming into South Africa will surely harm our economy. Very much! So those idiots are likely to do it!

In the meantime, enjoy some more hunting and vacationing in South Africa!
