by For most South Africans, when it comes to travelling, a level of anxiety develops when we start to think of visa restrictions.
Even after we have our visas, we have to be interrogated about anything from our town of birth to a detailed and lengthy timetable of what we intend to do whilst visiting a country.
For those of you who want to avoid this altogether, luckily, there are many countries that are either visa-less, or allow you to apply for a visa upon arrival.
