Anyone anticipating travel to or from South Africa should be aware of the documentary requirements which went into effect in June 2015 for minors under 18 years of age entering or exiting the country. All minors of any nationality will need to travel with an original or a certified copy of their unabridged birth certificate or Consular Report of Birth Abroad. In addition, if a minor is traveling without one or both of their parents/guardians, a notarized permission letter and certified copies of identity documents are required from the absent parent(s). Our consular team will have standard permission forms on hand for completion and notarization.
