→ Gambia visa for South African citizens

For Gambian passport holders planning a journey to South Africa, a visa is required, with a selection of ten different categories available to suit your purpose, from tourist and business to work and student visas. Generally, a standard tourist visa allows stays of up to 90 days, though processing fees typically range around ZAR 425; be mindful of the different seasons as you journey from West Africa's Atlantic coast to the southern tip of the continent. Travel often involves connecting flights, commonly through major hubs like Addis Ababa or Nairobi, spanning over 6,000 kilometers and crossing two time zones into South African Standard Time (SAST).
