Saffas will soon need a travel pass before departing or entering SA

South Africans looking to depart or enter the country will soon need to obtain a traveller pass.

The South African Revenue Service (SARS) announced on Wednesday that the country will be introducing a new online traveller declaration system.

The new process requires all travellers, including South African citizens, residents, children and infants to complete and submit an online traveller declaration. The online system will collect all travel information and returns a traveller pass via email.

The aim is to simplify passenger movement at all South African airports.

‘Upon arrival in South Africa, there will be instructions at the airports that will guide and inform travellers what to do next,’ stated the announcement.

SARS says the new system will be rolled out from November 2022 at OR Tambo International Airport being the first. Thereafter, all South African airports will follow suit in the first quarter of 2023.
