OR Tambo International Airport. Anywhere apartment hotel close. Let say 3-5km

Checkout Isando Airport Inn. It's very close to the airport and you'd get there with an Uber or Bolt of about 80-120 Rands.
It's at Isando which is close to Kempton part and Edenvale when you want to move for permanent accomodations in Jborg.
All the best

I have read one or two online reviews by individuals who flew to cape town or Durban with eVisa but the immigration officials could not attend to them because they lacked scanners to read eVisa. One was deported the other was granted access after 4hrs delay. Note that the reviews were last year 2022. I appreciate the reviews but I can't find any publication by SA authorities stating that eVisa holders must enter SA via OR Tambo airport Johannesburg. For example, Turkey published theirs so I know the airline and airport to use to enter Turkey with eVisa. I just need reliable , experience or guidance anybody.

What you have raised is a very important issue. Information is key when traveling, if there is anyone here that has flown to SA recently via Johannesburg, OR TAMBO, they should openly tell us if there was a seperate queue for evisa engers. Please give us an insight. I will be waiting to hear from someone

Not really, as at the last time I travelled in, which was January 19. There was no separate queue for e-visa.

Thank you. By what you are saying, it means it safe to fly to Johannesburg OR tambo and expect visa stamp if one meets criteria for entry. Ws your hotel booked and paid for. Or you presented just a dummy
?

My question is, have you flown directly to cape town or Durban airport with eVisa and was stamped in? Please share your experience if you have.

I am aware that eVisa is accepted at OR Tambo Johannesburg so no issues there.

I will just generally advice you have all the documents handy. The only questions immigration officers asked at the poe is "Where are you going to?" But I don't really know about for those visiting. I vividly that there were having issues with their system, so it was only one officer attending to e-visa. My generally advice, just print the hotel booking.


I hope you find this useful

Sorry, I am not familiar with apartments in the airport area. I will suggest you google apartments in that area or check Airbnb and check the reviews.

Thanks

When I travelled to SA with the e visa in June 2022, I was delayed for almost 1hr cos the immigration told me they don't know about the evisa.I was part of the first batch that used it. They invited one of their tech guys who attended to me and also thought them how to handle it..

I was stamped in for the entire duration of my visa.

I don't know of other airport but e visa is accepted at OR Tambo Airport Johannesburg.

Good morning Nairalanders,
I am posting this message in a detention area of the Cape-Town International airport. I was received the e-visa through VFS application and on reaching the airport, They denied me entry as the say ..the VISA COULD NOT BE FOUND ON THEIR SYSTEM. I am here for just a four day work conference but it seems they are prepared paper work for deportation and have me sign..The is a really important work trip and I am missing it because of vfs ..this is really horrible. If they are granting visa that cannot be verified

I used Airbnb in Waterfall Midrand.

Call the VFS Asap!! Let them know the issue. Show them the mail of confirmation where the visa is. If OR Tambo could , why can’t Capetown it? This is serious

So sorry about your current situation. This is why I asked the questions about which airport can scan eVisa. Your evisa may not be the issue rather a lack of equipment to validate eVisa. If you search travel forums you will find others that had a similar experience in cape town and durban. Hang in there.
