Visiting and hours

The South African Embassy in Beijing handles consular services for South African nationals throughout mainland China. South African passport renewals require in-person fingerprinting; the Embassy can facilitate applications but processing occurs through the Department of Home Affairs in South Africa, meaning lead times should be planned well in advance.

Emergency travel certificates can be issued more quickly for nationals needing to travel urgently. Appointments are required for all in-person services; book via the Embassy website. Emergency contact outside working hours is through the duty line listed on the Embassy website.

Addresses, phone numbers, and appointment procedures change. Always confirm current details on the official embassy or consulate website before attending. In genuine emergencies, use the out-of-hours duty line rather than daytime contact numbers.
