## Can You Travel to South Africa with a DUI?
Yes, you can travel to South Africa with a DUI. However, there are some important things to keep in mind.
1. You will need to obtain a visa.
All visitors to South Africa, including those with a DUI, must obtain a visa. You can apply for a visa online or at your nearest South African embassy or consulate. The visa application process can take several weeks, so it is important to start the process early.
2. You may be required to provide proof of insurance.
If you are driving in South Africa, you will need to provide proof of insurance. This can be done by purchasing a South African insurance policy or by providing proof of your international insurance policy.
3. You may be subject to additional screening.
When you arrive in South Africa, you may be subject to additional screening by customs and immigration officials. This screening may include a background check, which could reveal your DUI conviction. If you are found to have a DUI conviction, you may be denied entry into South Africa.
4. You may not be able to rent a car.
If you have a DUI conviction, you may not be able to rent a car in South Africa. This is because most car rental companies in South Africa have policies that prohibit renting to drivers with DUI convictions.
5. You may not be able to work in South Africa.
If you have a DUI conviction, you may not be able to work in South Africa. This is because many employers in South Africa require employees to have a clean driving record.
6. You may be deported.
If you are found to be in violation of South African immigration law, you may be deported. This could happen if you are caught driving without a valid license, if you are involved in an accident, or if you are otherwise found to be a threat to public safety.

Be honest about your DUI conviction on your visa application.
Bring proof of insurance with you when you travel.
