Visas and Exemptions
Volunteers are required to hold a passport valid for at least 6 months longer than your date of return. Volunteers should also ensure your passport is in good condition. (Check your pockets when washing clothes!) Please consult the country destination list below for information on visas.
South African Visas
Volunteers from the UK, EU, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are not required to pay for a visa to enter South Africa. You will be granted a temporary visitor’s permit valid for 90 days when you present your passport on arrival at the airport in South Africa. If you are intending to stay for longer than 90 days however, it is worthwhile applying for a visa in your home country before you travel. This will save you the trouble of having to extend your visitor’s permit once you are in South Africa.
Exempt: Australia, Belgium, United Kingdom, Canada, Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, USA, France, Switzerland
Swaziland Visas
Most volunteers travelling to the Kingdom of Swaziland can enter for up to 60 days without requiring a visa. Some members of the EU require a visa, which is issued at point of entry free of charge. Volunteers from the UK do not need a visa for stays of one or two months. Don’t forget to take your Yellow fever vaccination certificate.
Exempt: South Africa
Mozambique Visas
All volunteers with placements in Mozambique require visas. Single-entry visas can be used for 30 day placements, which cost £40. Volunteers staying longer will need a multi-entry visa (£70) and is valid for six months. You will need two passport photos for the visa and should also have proof of onward travel (e.g. Return flight tickets)
Exempt: none
Kenya Visas
It is a requirement for the majority of volunteers travelling to Kenya to have a visa. The 90 day visas can be obtained upon arrival at the International Airport in Nairobi for £30 for a single-entry visa and £60 for multiple entries. However it is highly recommended you obtain the visa in the UK before travelling.
Exempt: South Africa
