php/immigration-services/ exempt-countries for the official Visa Exemption list (which includes the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, NZ, and many African, South American, and Asian countries). - For those from countries not on the list, who still need to apply for a visa, they can apply online at eVisa, https://ehome.dha.gov.za/
