Feel like taking a holiday last minute but don’t have the time to wait for a visa? Why not try a visa-free destination? South Africa has ranked 47th on the list with a visa-free score of 94; an improvement on the 90 countries open to South Africans in 2017.

In 2018 a few countries have been added, or have changes to their visa classifications (from visa-on-arrival to visa-free).

Specifically, Angola, Mauritius, Micronesia, Russia, Qatar as well as Senegal are now visa-free; while Gabon has been added as a visa-on-arrival destination, along with Ghana and Turkey. Cote d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) is now an Electronic Travel Authority destination.
