Applying for a Volunteer Visa for South Africa

There are many volunteer opportunities in South Africa.  The country welcomes volunteers and if you plan to volunteer through a proper volunteer organization and have been accepted, you can apply for a Volunteer Visa. In some cases, if you plan to volunteer for three months or less, you may not need a visa. Please check with us.

The Volunteer Visa is a temporary residency visa. It is a multiple-entry visa and is renewable. This is the correct visa to choose if you have an acceptance letter from a Registered Volunteer Organization, are not being paid for your work, and plan to volunteer for your entire stay in South Africa.
This visa does not lead to Permanent Residency and does not include working rights. 

How do I Qualify?

  • You are a foreigner who wishes to undertake non-paid work for a Volunteer Organization, Charity, Church, or Mission inside South Africa.
  • The organization can provide a letter of invitation stating the purpose and duration of the stay.
  • Applicant has a return flight booked or has paid the Repatriation Deposit.
  • Please contact New World Immigration for the most up-to-date information if you are interested in volunteering.
