Burundi visa for Eswatini citizens

For Burundian passport holders planning a journey to Eswatini, a visa is required for entry. Prospective travelers will find five distinct visa categories available, including options for tourism, business, and study, with a standard tourist visa typically allowing a stay of up to 30 days and costing around $70. Given the geographical distance separating these two landlocked nations, direct flights are unavailable, meaning most journeys from Bujumbura will involve at least one layover, often in Johannesburg, before connecting to Eswatini’s King Mswati III International Airport. Adjusting to the two-hour time difference as you switch from East Africa Time to Southern Africa Standard Time is a minor consideration for visitors.
