Eswatini
Use our advice together with your own research from reputable sources to plan your trip.
Entry and Exit
Singaporeans may stay up to 30 days in Eswatini without a visa. As visa requirements often change at short notice, we advise you to contact your travel agency, or the nearest High Commission of Eswatini for up-to-date information. There should be at least 6 months' validity on your passport on the expected date of departure from Eswatini.
As the only way to Eswatini is via South Africa, do note that South Africa has strict entry regulations for minors (i.e. those under 18 years of age) to prevent child trafficking. Any minor travelling with one parent or without his/her parents must provide certain documentation for entry into South Africa. Please contact the High Commission of South Africa in Singapore for more details.
Safety and Security
When travelling in private cars, keep your bags and valuables in the boot and out of sight to avoid “smash and grab” robbery attempts when the car slows down or stops.
Travelling on roads and highways is generally safe. When driving, Singaporeans should stick to major roads, check routes in advance and not rely solely on GPS (which tends to select the shortest routes, including unpaved and unlit tracks), avoid stopping on highways, be prepared for breakdowns, and pay heed to natural hazards such as animals, fog and flash floods, especially at night. If travelling alone in a rental car into remote areas of Eswatini where there is limited mobile phone coverage, do consider having extra fuel for your vehicle and also extra spare tyres as road conditions are harsh. When locking the car by remote control, physically double-check that doors are locked, as robbers are known to use anti-jamming devices to foil the remote locking.
If you have been to a region with yellow fever, you will be asked to produce your yellow fever vaccination certificate for entry into Eswatini. You may wish to consult Tan Tock Seng Traveller’s Clinic for vaccinations and medical advice needed for travel to Eswatini.
