No, travel insurance is not mandatory when traveling from India to South Africa. In South Africa, health and access to healthcare is one of the country’s biggest problems. Not only that, but South Africa also faces multiple communicable disease burdens like tuberculosis, influenza, and pneumonia.
For these reasons, we strongly advice buying a travel plan with adequate medical coverage. This acts as a relief in times of need when abroad.
A $50,000 South Africa Travel insurance plan from India for 4 days for 1 adult starts from ₹515 (excluding GST).
South Africa is an incredible place to visit. It is full of diversity and beautiful tourist attractions. Besides, the country offers different job opportunities, so Indian people often shift to this country or visit it for other social reformation purposes.
