South Africa has expanded its visa-free policy to include India, effective January 2025, joining countries like the US, Canada, and the UAE. The move aims to boost tourism, strengthen diplomatic ties, and attract high-value visitors. The policy also introduces a Trusted Tour Operator Scheme for group travel and a Remote Work Visa for digital nomads. A new points-based system for skilled workers and streamlined visa processes are also part of the reforms.
