Gatherings are defined as a planned assembly or meeting at a particular venue involving more than 100 people. All international travellers arriving at SA ports of entry must be vaccinated against Covid-19 and produce a valid vaccination certificate, or produce a valid negative PCR Covid-19 test result not older than 72-hours before the date of departure.
If the traveller is experiencing symptoms of Covid-19, they must self-isolate for 10 days after admission into SA. The vaccination or testing requirement is not applicable to travellers under the age of 12 years and daily commuters from neighbouring countries.
