UK & Schengen Visa Bundle – South African Travellers (FAQs)

Visa Basics

Do South Africans need a visa for the UK?
Yes. South African passport holders require a UK visa to enter the United Kingdom. Most visitors apply for a Standard Visitor visa for tourism, business or family visits.
Do South Africans need a visa for Schengen countries?
Yes. A Schengen visa is required to visit most European countries in the Schengen Zone. South Africans must apply in advance at the relevant consulate or VFS centre.
Can I use a UK visa to enter Schengen countries?
No. A UK visa does not grant entry to the Schengen Area. South Africans must hold both a UK visa and a Schengen visa if visiting both regions.
Can I apply for a UK visa and a Schengen visa together?
Yes, but they are separate applications with different portals, fees and requirements. Planning is required to avoid overlaps in passport custody.

Applications & Processing

How do I apply for a UK visa from South Africa?
Applications are completed online on the UK government portal, followed by biometrics and document submission at VFS Global in South Africa.
How do I apply for a Schengen visa from South Africa?
You apply at the consulate of your main destination (or first entry if stays are equal), and submit biometrics/documents at VFS Global.
Can I apply for a Schengen visa while in the UK?
Only if you are legally resident in the UK with proof of residency. South Africans travelling as visitors cannot apply for a Schengen visa while in the UK.
How long does it take to get a UK visa in South Africa?
Standard UK visitor visas usually take around 15 working days. Priority services (5 days or 24 hours) may be available for an additional fee.

A 6-month Standard Visitor visa is about £115. Longer validities (2, 5, 10 years) cost more. Service and priority fees may apply.
