South Africa simplifies visa requirements for Ukrainians – Sybiha
The Republic of South Africa has simplified the procedure for obtaining a 90-day visa for Ukrainian citizens, who can now apply for it through the new ETA electronic visa system, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha said.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha announced that South Africa has streamlined the process for Ukrainian citizens to obtain a 90-day visa. Previously, the visa application took about two months and required two trips to neighboring Poland. However, with South Africa's new electronic visa system, known as ETA, the application can now be submitted within minutes from a smartphone, and the applicant will receive the visa within 24 hours.
Ukraine is the first country to be granted access to this system, with the first visas already being issued. Sybiha expressed gratitude to the South African government, as well as his colleagues Ronald Lamola and Leon Schreiber, for this decision. He expressed anticipation for further positive developments.
