Two blank page passport law: Heads up

A very big NB, for tourists coming to South Africa is the recent enforcement of a bizarre passport regulation.

The rules state that visitors are required to have, not one, but two blank pages in your passport on arrival in South Africa.

A German tourist was sent home last month, after a 12 hour flight, because of this.

Please check you passports in good time before leaving so that you can either have pages added, or get a new passport to avoid huge disappointment and the consequences of bored bureaucrats.
