Entry/Exit Requirements

A passport is required. Visas are not required for tourists and business travelers arriving in Swaziland for short visits (less than 30 days) on standard U.S. passports. Travelers visiting Swaziland generally enter through South Africa.

Please note: Travelers to South Africa should have several unstamped visa pages in their passports upon each entry into the country. South Africa requires two unstamped visa pages, excluding amendment pages, to enter the country. Visitors who do not have enough blank visa pages in their passport risk being denied entry and returned to the United States at their own expense. South Africa has recently passed new legislation requiring additional documentation for children traveling to/from/through the country. Travelers are strongly encouraged to review these new travel requirements.

Travelers to Swaziland who are transiting South Africa should note that if they are transiting a country with yellow fever (such as when on the United States-Johannesburg flight that transits Dakar, potentially even when passengers remain on the plane), they must have proof of yellow fever vaccination.
