South Africa

A national state of disaster has been declared in South Africa with additional measures to combat the spread of COVID-19. These include additional screening and testing at airports and closure of many land crossings and sea ports. If you've travelled to high-risk countries such as China, Germany, Iran, Italy, South Korea, Spain, the UK and the US in the last 20 days, you'll be denied a visa. If you entered South Africa from high-risk countries since mid-February, you're required to be tested for COIVD-19. If you travelled to South Africa despite our advice and wish to return to Australia, do so as soon as possible while commercial flight options are available.

We now advise you to:

Do not travel to South Africa.
