VIP Assistance through Customs & Immigration. Welcome to South Africa. Once you land at Cape Town International Airport, you will be met as you approach passport controls (look for your name on a sign) and assisted by VIP Assistance through Customs & Immigration. IMPORTANT INFORMATION - US passports do not require visas to enter South Africa BUT must have at least two empty pages in their passports for each country visited. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of departure from the last country visited. You will then be helped to collect your luggage and proceed to the Arrivals Hall.
