The South Africa Family Visit eVisa may be suitable for eligible travellers planning a temporary visit to relatives or close family members in South Africa. Applicants may need to provide information about their host, accommodation and the purpose and duration of their visit. Depending on the circumstances, an invitation letter or evidence of the family relationship may also be requested. Make sure all passport details and supporting documents are accurate and consistent. A family visit visa is generally intended for temporary travel and should not automatically be used for employment or permanent residence. If you plan to stay for a longer period, check whether another immigration category is required. Preparing family and travel documents early can make the application and journey much easier.
