Visas in Southern and Eastern Africa

Do I need visas in Africa?
In some Southern Africa countries if European passport, NO you don´t need.
But in all the rest, YES. In many countries you can get visa on arrival (UE).

Prices for visas are around 30-50 $/month.
Some countries in Africa have expensive visas and hard to get but  usually they are quite closed to tourism (like Angola, DR Congo).
You can find the information in the official websites, they change a lot condictions and prices in the last months (2015).

Is it easy to cross borders?
Yes, easy, many border posts all over Africa. Most of them modern, with computers. More or less busy, more or less trucks. Usually no problem to get public transport on the main routes. There are many people and goods moving around Africa.
Even with a rental car in Southern Africa, we never had any problem, no special papers, no extra money asked, respectful officers, nothing. Easy!

To get a idea about how much money you need to travel across these countries in Africa, see the next chart:



VOA:  Visa on arrival.
