Visa requirements for South African citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of the Republic of South Africa.

As of 2024, South African citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 108 countries and territories, ranking the South African passport 53rd in the world according to the Henley Passport Index.^[1]

Where visa-free access is permitted, such access is not necessarily a right, and admission is at the discretion of border enforcement officers. Visitors engaging in activities other than tourism, including unpaid work, may require a visa or work permit.
