Frequently asked questions

Which cities have foreign embassies in South Africa?

This directory lists posts in Pretoria, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, Hatfield. In South Africa, many countries keep an embassy in the capital and consulates in cities such as Cape Town and Johannesburg and Durban.

What is the difference between an embassy and a consulate?

An embassy (or high commission) is the main diplomatic post, almost always in the capital. A consulate is a satellite office that often handles visas, passports, and everyday consular work for residents of that region.

Can any embassy in South Africa help me with a visa?

No. You apply at the embassy or consulate of the country you intend to visit, not at a random foreign office. Use this directory to find the right country’s posts in South Africa.

Is this the same as an official government list?

No. This is a Visa Boards directory for travellers. Confirm addresses, hours, and visa rules on each official embassy or consulate website before you visit.

Contact details can change. Prefer each embassy or consulate website for appointments and hours.
