South Africa: Universal African Visa for World Cup Visitors Proposed

South Africa might introduce a universal African visa for visitors attending FIFA’s World Cup in Johannesburg next year, according to Bua News. The visa, however, will require the approval of other African nations. Assuming enough support can be garnered, visa holders could travel to other participating African states during their visit to South Africa.

South Africa previously created an “events visa,” which was specifically introduced to ease the way for soccer fans planning to visit the country for the event.
