How to apply for a visa to Swaziland!

China and Swaziland have no diplomatic relations. China citizens must apply for a visa to go to Swaziland. You can apply at the embassy of Sri Lanka in a country that has diplomatic relations with Sri Lanka (such as South Africa). To apply for a tourist visa to Sri Lanka at the Embassy of Swaziland in South Africa, the applicant must provide a valid passport (the remaining validity period must exceed 3 months), recent photos, a completed visa application form, a copy of passport information page and a copy of residence or visa in South Africa, a local confirmation letter from Swaziland, itinerary and accommodation arrangements, and pay a visa fee (80 rand for one-time entry and 300- 1300 rand for multiple entry). Visa fees must be deposited in the bank account designated by the embassy and the original deposit certificate must be provided. Cash is not accepted. If the visa is rejected, the visa fee will not be refunded. The opening hours of the Sri Lankan Embassy in South Africa are from 9: 00 am to12: 30 am every Monday, Wednesday and Friday (except public holidays), and the processing time is 2-3 days.

To travel to Swaziland by land, most tourists need to transit through South Africa. South Africa requires passports to have at least two blank visa pages for entry and exit, otherwise they may be refused entry or even repatriated. If you drive to Swaziland, an entrance fee of 50 rand will be charged at the border crossing for each car with a foreign license plate. Since there are no ATMs and credit card machines at border crossings, it is necessary to prepare enough cash.

If you need to stay in Swaziland for more than 60 days, you must apply to the Ministry of the Interior for a temporary residence permit. Immigration Bureau of Swaziland Ministry of Interior Tel: 00268-404-294 1, P.O. Box: P.O. Box 372, Mbaba.
