Prologue

In the article it says that Child and normal passports are no different apart from the expiry date, this misleads you to think that there is no other difference; child passports say Child Passport and Passport Enfant on the front.

HI - can you show a source to this? have seen thousands of ZAF pasportds and have never seen a child's passport. I just see ordinary passports with differing expiry dates. Cheers --Spartaz 06:34, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need a visa for Thailand on an SA passport either (as of 2003).

Coat-of-arms

Are the new passports nowadays issued with the new coat of arms of South Africa? – Kaihsu (talk) 17:25, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

yes lets go —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.128.20.160 (talk) 16:15, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have seen newly-issued passports with the new coat-of-arms. – Kaihsu (talk) 12:09, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect info

The new world map is incorrect. For instance, Mexico now requires South Africans to obtain visas. Also, Turkey issues visas on arrival.

Hopefully someone can fix this and put up a picture of the new South African passport. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.97.236.151 (talk) 00:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll fix the map. Passportguy (talk) 00:13, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just removed Tunisia from the list, the UK embassy now claims South African passport holders need to apply for a full visa before arriving, they no longer grand visas on arrival. Map will be out of date now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.9.242 (talk) 11:14, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. What is the status of Europe? Please verify. Thanks MrDJWade
