On 29 November 2022, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) announced the publication of the new Guide for the South African Traveller Management System. The Guide includes provision for the submission of an online declaration if a traveller so chooses, instead of the “Manual TC-01 Traveller Declaration in terms of R.2799”.
Any traveller entering or leaving South Africa at a port of entry where the testing of the electronic South African Traveller Management System (SATMS) is implemented during the pilot phase may voluntarily participate in such testing by submitting an electronic traveller declaration via the SATMS link on the Traveller Declaration webpage or the SARS MobiApp. A traveller or crew member who submits an online declaration will receive an electronic notice of whether to report to the Red or Green channel upon arrival in, or departure from, South Africa.
For more information, refer to the:
