💨 Abstract

South Africa's Department of Home Affairs plans to phase out the Trusted Tour Operator Scheme (TTOS) and integrate it into the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system. The TTOS, launched in 2024, streamlined visa applications for tour groups from key markets like China and India. The move to ETA aims to digitize the visa process, reducing paperwork and processing times.
