๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆโœจ Big News for South Africans Abroad! โœˆ

Starting 1 November 2025, South Africans living overseas will be able to receive their new passports right at their doorstep โ€” no more second embassy visits! ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ“ฆ

The Department of Home Affairs (DHA) has announced a door-to-door passport delivery system for expats applying through global service centres โ€” a first in SAโ€™s history.

๐Ÿ’ก What this means for you:
โœ… No more long embassy queues or multiple trips
โœ… Processing times reduced to about 5 weeks
โœ… Delivery within 24โ€“72 hours once issued
โœ… Delivery cost: $30โ€“$60 (R520โ€“R1 040) depending on location

This initiative, announced by Minister Dr Leon Schreiber in The Hague, will first roll out to South Africans abroad โ€” and could later extend to applicants within South Africa.

At SA Travel Bug, weโ€™re here to keep you updated on all the latest travel and documentation changes that make your journey smoother. ๐ŸŒโœˆ

๐Ÿšจ Important Update for U.S. Visa Applicants ๐Ÿšจ

The U.S. Department of State has released new rules (effective Sept 6, 2025) for nonimmigrant visa (NIV) applicants:

๐Ÿ“Œ Whatโ€™s New:

You should now schedule your visa interview at the U.S. Embassy/Consulate in your country of nationality or residence.

Nationals of certain countries must apply at designated embassies (e.g. Zimbabwe โ†’ Johannesburg, Afghanistan โ†’ Islamabad, Iran โ†’ Dubai, Ukraine โ†’ Krakow/Warsaw).

Existing appointments will not be cancelled.

โš  Important Notes:

You must prove residency in the country where youโ€™re applying.

Applying outside your country of nationality/residence may lead to longer wait times and no refund on fees if denied.

Exceptions: A, G, NATO visas, official/diplomatic visas, and urgent humanitarian/medical cases.

๐Ÿ”— Travellers are encouraged to check the official U.S. Embassy/Consulate websites for full details before applying.

๐Ÿ‘‰ SA Travel Bug Tip: If youโ€™re from Zimbabwe, your designated U.S. visa interview location is Johannesburg, South Africa.

๐Ÿงณ At SA Travel Bug, weโ€™re proud to help South Africans explore the world while staying connected to home. Because no matter where your travels take you, your heritage always travels with you.
