Tourist visa

To obtain a South African tourist visa, a visit to the South African consulate in Turkey is required. First, the required documentation must be gathered and the visa application completed, after which a consulate appointment date is scheduled.

The consulate schedules appointments in two ways: a) by sending the applicant an exact appointment date by email, or b) by arranging it with the applicant over a phone call.

🔹 A detailed list of documents tailored to your travel purpose.
🔹 Completion of the application form.
🔹 Professional review of the documentation you provide.
🔹 Phone and online support.
🔹 Booking and preparation for your consulate interview.
🔹 Transfer of the visa fee payment.
🔹 Representative service in Ankara, Turkey.

🔹 Transferring the visa fee payment.

Processing of the South Africa visa application begins once the documents are submitted, and takes 10 to 15 business days.

The tourist (sticker) visa is generally issued for the exact period the applicant has indicated in the application and supporting documents.
In general, the visa allows a stay in South Africa of at least 30 days, but this is entirely at the consul's discretion.
