South Africa has launched an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system for eligible Indian travellers, streamlining the application process for short-term leisure and work trips. Applicants can now apply fully online, with processing times targeted between 24 to 48 hours. This new digital approach replaces traditional visa procedures, supports multiple entries, and aims to enhance convenience for visitors. The initiative is part of South Africa’s strategy to attract a larger number of tourists from the rapidly growing Indian outbound travel market.
