In July, the South African government signed several agreements with China, including a visa agreement that is likely to come into effect October 1.
Speaking at a media briefing in Johannesburg on Wednesday, China’s Ambassador to South Africa, Lin Songtian, said his office and South Africa’s Departments of International Relations and Home Affairs were finalising the easing of visa requirements, as agreed by the two heads of state.
The reciprocated agreement will see both South Africans and Chinese travellers requiring one visa, valid for five years with multiple entries allowed for up to 90 days each time.
