Japan (PR) visiting South Africa — pick your passport

Permanent residency in Japan lets you re-enter Japan, but it does not by itself grant visa-free entry to other countries. The visa rules for your trip to South Africa are determined by the passport you hold — not your PR status. Pick your country of citizenship below to see accurate requirements.

Notes for permanent residents
  • You travel on the passport of your country of citizenship — your Japan (PR) card is not a travel document for entry to South Africa.
  • Carry your PR card on the return trip — it's required to re-enter Japan.
  • Some destinations recognize PR status in narrow cases (e.g., transit, visa-on-arrival eligibility). Check the destination's official source for confirmation.
