Embassies and consulates in South Africa
Across fifteen South African cities, a dense diplomatic web connects 230 foreign missions representing 137 nations. Pretoria hosts the bulk, with 129 posts, while Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg hold smaller clusters. Compared with neighboring Namibia or Botswana, the network is far larger, yet distant powers such as Japan and Brazil maintain only a handful of offices.
Every day travelers, investors and tourists rely on these desks for visas, work permits and notarised documents, while trade officers promote South African minerals and tourism attractions abroad. Consular sections field queries about passport renewal, legalisation of contracts and emergency assistance, turning diplomatic premises into gateways for capital inflow and visitor arrivals, and sustainable development projects.
Browse the list below to locate any mission by city or by diplomatic type. Entries are grouped under each host city, then divided into embassies, consulates, high commissions and other offices. Click a mission name for contact details, opening hours and the latest visa or trade information.
