Embassies and consulates of South Africa
Stretching from Algiers to Buenos Aires and New York, South Africa's diplomatic footprint spans 177 missions across 125 host countries and 176 cities worldwide.

Visitors arrive with practical questions: renewed passports, notarised documents, visa guidance for South African nationals stranded abroad. Business travellers seek trade leads and investment contacts in fast-growing emerging markets. Each desk handles these daily requests personally and efficiently. They also promote tourism and facilitate trade ties between local firms and South African exporters across 74 consulates and 74 embassies.
