South Africa Visa for Indians

Before embarking on your Durban honeymoon, it's essential to understand the visa requirements for Indian tourists. As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Indian tourists visiting South Africa needed a tourist visa. The visa application process typically involves:

  2. Providing a valid passport with at least two blank pages
  3. Submitting proof of accommodation and a return flight ticket
  4. Providing proof of sufficient funds for your stay
  5. Submitting a recent passport-sized photograph
  6. Paying the visa application fee

Please note that visa requirements can change, so it's crucial to check the latest information from the South African embassy or consulate in India before planning your trip.

  3. Winter (June to August): While winters are mild in Durban, it's an excellent time for wildlife enthusiasts to go on safaris in nearby game reserves.

The experience right from the booking till the end of our trip has been amazing and hassle-free. We planned the trip 10 days before our departure and Pickyourtrail helped us with great offers. Everything was taken care of, this was my first international and it didn't seem like it, because I was well prepared thanks to Pickyourtrail. Maldives was amazing, August is probably the kind of season that suited me with not too much crowd, great night skies and beautiful marine life. Adding few pictures from the vacation. Also can follow me on instagram @samipghosh.
