If bringing children under 18, border officials may request an unabridged birth certificate showing both parents — even biological parents have been turned back at Beitbridge and OR Tambo. Carry it. Note: South Africa is rolling out an ETA system in phases through 2026 — currently it only applies to nationals of China, India, Indonesia and Mexico. SADC citizens including Zimbabweans remain visa-free.
