South African Citizens Need Visas For Trips to United
Kingdom from July
South African News Updates
01 April 2009
South Africans travelling to the
United Kingdom will need visas with effect from July
1, the British High Commission said on Wednesday.
The temporary visa exemption for South African
visitors with a previous travel history to the UK,
which began on March 3, would cease at midnight on
June 30, the high commission said in a statement.
From Wednesday, July 1, all South African visitors to
the UK would require a visa.
Visa regimes for Bolivian and Venezuelan nationals
would begin on Monday, May 18, and Lesotho and
Swaziland also on July 1.
The high commission said the global expansion of the
UK's visa processes was just one part of an on-going
exercise to secure its borders.
"We have already rolled out the biometric capture of
information, enabling us to fix someone's identity
from the moment the visa application is made.
"This will deter many of those who seek to enter the
UK under an assumed identity or on fraudulently
obtained South African documents," the high commission
said.
It would also reduce the risk of South African
passengers being unnecessarily delayed on arrival in
the UK because of current concerns over the security
of South African passports.
