South Africa — Visa & Airports

US, UK, EU, Canadian, Australian and NZ passport holders receive 90 days visa-free on arrival, stamped at the port of entry; passports must be valid six months beyond departure with two blank pages. Overstays trigger "undesirable person" bans of one to five years, strictly enforced at exit.

OR Tambo (JNB) is the main hub with the Gautrain into Sandton; Cape Town International (CPT) sits ~20 km from the CBD with the MyCiTi Airport Route; King Shaka (DUR) serves the coast. Avoid unmarked "taxi touts" in arrivals halls — book Uber/Bolt from inside the terminal.
