3. Entry requirements
No visa required for UK passport holders for stays of less than 90 days. It's probably wise to have at three months passport validity at the time of entry.
- At least two blank passport pages
- Sufficient day-to-day funds for the duration
- Return or onward ticket
4. Customs
Import information: https://south-africa.visahq.com/customs/
Notably cheese is a significant problem. Pre-imported supplies are available nearby and may even be trucked in by the conference organisers.
