Full visa guidance is coming soon.
The One Young World Summit 2026 will take place in Cape Town, South Africa. We are currently preparing detailed visa guidance for delegates and will publish a full guide — including country-specific application information, supporting document checklists, and application form guidance — as soon as it is available.
In the meantime, delegates who believe they may require a visa to enter South Africa can begin familiarising themselves with South African visa requirements via the Department of Home Affairs.
Key information to be aware of:
- South Africa does not issue visas at ports of entry. If you require a visa, you must obtain it before travelling.
- Some nationalities are exempt from South African visa requirements. You can check whether your country is on the exemptions list.
- Visitor visas for South Africa are typically valid for up to 90 days and cover tourism and business purposes.
All Summit attendees will be notified when One Young World’s full visa guidance is available.
