Digital Nomad Visa for South Africa
South Africa has become increasingly popular with remote workers, and the government has introduced plans for a Digital Nomad Visa designed for people who want to live in the country while working for companies based abroad.
At the moment, many digital nomads enter South Africa using the 90-day tourist visa, which is available visa-free for citizens of many countries, including the UK, EU and the United States.
For longer stays, travellers typically explore options such as:
• applying for a tourist visa extension
• leaving the country briefly and re-entering
• applying for longer-term visas depending on their situation
Because visa rules can change, travellers should always check the latest requirements before planning a longer stay.
Cape Town continues to attract remote workers thanks to its strong internet infrastructure, international community and incredible lifestyle.
