Malagasy to South Africa Visa Free (30 days)

Madagascar passport holders must have a valid passport with at least 30 days validity remaining after their planned exit date from South Africa. The passport must be in good condition with clear biographical information and at least 2 consecutive empty visa pages.

While not always strictly enforced, it is recommended to have proof of onward or return travel to demonstrate your intention to leave South Africa within the permitted 30-day visa-free period.

Proof of accommodation such as hotel booking confirmations or a letter of invitation from a host in South Africa may be requested by immigration authorities, though not always required for tourism stays.

While not always mandatory, immigration authorities may request proof of sufficient financial resources to support your stay in South Africa, such as bank statements or credit card statements.

If you are arriving from a yellow fever risk country or have recently traveled through such a country, you must present a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate (World Health Organization 'yellow card') at entry.
