Henley & Partners has published its latest passport index, outlining the countries that South Africans can travel to visa-free right now, and how the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted international travel.
According to the index, South Africa has lost three places in the rankings, so that South African passport holders are now able to access 102 destinations without obtaining a prior visa.
While the number of visa-free countries has largely remained around the 100 mark, other passports have continued to grow their rankings by offering more visa-free options, leading South Africa to slip down the rankings.
As with other countries, South Africa also faces ongoing travel restrictions due to the pandemic which drastically limits where people can travel.
