Visas for Scotland and Wales

QUESTION: I am travellling to England next May to meet and tour with British friends. They are now talking of possible excursions to Scotland and Ireland. Do I need additional visas or will a visa to England allow me to enter Scotland and Wales? What happens in the case of Ireland? - Mike Stewart

ANSWER: As there are no border control posts between England, Wales and Scotland, you will not need to show your passport and definitely do not need a visa. In the case of Ireland, you will pass through a border post, but South African passport holders do not require visas to enter. However, you may need to show your return air ticket and proof of sufficient funds to support you during your stay.
