Requirements for American citizen to enter Botswana for three months

Upvote:6

Botswana is open for tourists, you can visit with a valid passport up to 90 days total within a calendar year. Notice that leaving the country and coming back does not renew the 90 days period. There is no need for for sufficient funds proof as far as I experienced, for myself or for visitors.

Valid passport (Botswana and South Africa) must have:

  • At least two empty pages (BW)
  • At least six months of validity remaining (RSA)
  • No added pages to your passport (RSA)

If you are traveling with minors (under 18), there are additional stipulations:

  • Birth certificate

  • If traveling with one parent, you need a letter from the other parent approving the trip, this must be sign by a notary

  • Refer to SA Department of Home Affaires website for more details or updates

One more thing, before you arrive I do recommend to join Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) program and receive email and updates from the US Consulate in Gaborone

Enjoy your trip!
