South Africa visa FAQ
How much does a South Africa visa cost through Unlocktravels?
Government fees change often and depend on the visa type and processing speed, so we quote for your exact case. Tap "Request pricing" and we'll send a written quote — government fee and our service charge listed separately — usually within a few working hours.
Can you guarantee my South Africa visa?
No one can — the decision rests solely with the embassy. What we do is remove avoidable errors: we check every document against current requirements, which is where most refusals come from.
Do I need to visit your office?
No. Everything can be done over WhatsApp, phone and email. You only visit a visa centre if biometrics or an interview is required.
