South African Tourism | Airport Health Protocols

South Africa is open and ready to receive travellers from all over the world in a safe manner!
All travellers coming into our country need to present a negative PCR COVID-19 test not older than 72 hours from their country of origin.

All airports in South Africa are fully equipped to ensure the safety of all travellers entering and leaving the country . Upon arrival, all visitors will be screened for any COVID-19 symptoms by Port Health. This screening includes a questionnaire prior to disembarking the flight as well as a temperature check. Should the traveler’s temperature be over 37 degrees Celsius or exhibit any symptoms, secondary screening will be conducted, at the traveler’s cost.

All our airports have visible sanitising stations as well as agents offering passenger sanitisation.

All travellers are encouraged to abide by all COVID-19 health and safety protocols including sanitising of hands, wearing of masks and social distancing.

We look forward to welcoming all visitors to our shores, to enjoy the variety of experiences our country has to offer.
