Traveling into or out of South Africa by air, road, sea, or rail?

🚨 Going "Beyond Booking": Navigating South Africa's Mandatory New SARS Travel Rules.

Attention travelers! The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has officially made the Online Traveller Declaration mandatory for anyone entering or leaving South Africa by air, land, or sea.
​The manual paper forms are a thing of the past. To ensure your next trip in or out is completely seamless, here is what you need to know about the new South African Traveller Management System (SATMS):

​The 24-Hour Rule: You must submit your digital declaration no more than 24 hours before your departure. For multi-stop flights heading back to SA, it must be done 24 hours before the final leg.

Who Needs It?
Every passenger including South African citizens, international residents, and minors (completed by a guardian), must submit an individual form.

What to Declare: You need to declare currency or financial instruments over R100,000, and any goods exceeding the standard duty-free allowance.

The Process: Once submitted online or via the mobile app, you’ll receive an email confirmation containing specific customs instructions. Save it on your phone or print it out before arriving at the border.

​At TravelMate 24/7, we believe travel should be about discovery, not stress. Our concierge team continuously monitors changing logistical landscapes so you always arrive prepared, secure, and with absolute peace of mind.

​Don't let unexpected border delays disrupt your itinerary. Chat with our 24/7 team today to lock in your next holiday with complete logistical backup.
