Just a heads up, Australian Passports are going up by 15% on the 1st July 2024, so if your passport is up for renewal or you need a new one, now is the time to do it!
Also, there will be the new fast-track system for passport applications. From July, applications can be processed within five business days for a $100 fee. This is an appealing option for travellers wanting greater certainty over when they will receive their passport but who don’t need a two-day turnaround, which currently costs $252.

News: SARS has a re-think and clarifies 'travel pass' statement

The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has cleared up confusion regarding the introduction of the much-debated ‘travel pass’ that caused widespread panic in the tourism industry, clarifying that the new system is being piloted to digitise the process of voluntarily declaring goods or cash upon entering or leaving South Africa.

The project, which will be piloted at King Shaka International Airport from November 1, is part of a South African Traveller Management System (SATMS) designed to modernise customs procedures.

“SARS will launch a pilot implementation of an electronic online portal for travellers to make declarations on a voluntary basis, well ahead of their arrival or departure to/from South Africa. The new system will allow travellers to pre-declare goods purchased, received, or otherwise acquired,” SARS said in a statement on Thursday, October 20.

“The new online traveller declaration system will, during the pilot phase, be fine-tuned based on insights gained as well as further engagement and feedback with various government departments and other stakeholders,” said SARS.

Pending a successful pilot, progressive implementation across all South African ports of entry will commence on April 1, 2023.

For travellers who choose not to use the online portal on their mobile devices, SARS will make a paper form available as well as self-service counters.

Travellers who have not submitted pre-declarations will still be allowed to enter or leave the Republic, but “are encouraged to voluntarily declare pre-departure or arrival to avoid the inconvenience of making a declaration at a port of entry”.

The tax authority caused consternation and widespread panic among travellers and the tourism industry with an initial statement (that has since been removed from the SARS website) on October 12, announcing a new online Traveller Declaration that “would require all travellers, including South African citizens and residents, children and infants, leaving or entering South Africa by air to complete and submit an online traveller declaration, as well as receive a traveller pass before they travel”.

Japan 🇯🇵 has fully opened its doors to visitors after more than two years of pandemic isolation. Last Tuesday, the country reinstated visa-free travel to dozens of countries, ending some of the world’s strictest Covid-19 border controls. Japan has also lifted the 50,000-person entry cap and ended the requirement for tourists to submit negative Covid-19 tests before arrival.

The moves come as Japan seeks to restart its economy and revive its struggling tourism industry. While the country has largely been successful in containing the virus, it has been slow to reopen its borders due to concerns about imported cases. However, with vaccinations underway and infection rates declining, officials have decided that now is the time to welcome back visitors.

The easing of travel restrictions is a relief for many businesses in Japan that have been struggling since the pandemic began. It is also a sign of hope for the tourism industry, which is eager to rebound after a long period of stagnation.
