IMPORTANT NOTE: Our swazi.travel visa guide to Swaziland appears to be the first time that this information on visa requiring / non-requiring countries is being published on the internet. Users of this information are cautioned however, as this list is an "unofficial list" due to the fact that the relevant authorities have not updated their own list. Our list is compiled from the "official list", together with our knowledge of what has been agreed upon by the Swaziland Cabinet of Ministers who have signed off updates in recent times. Countries that have moved from requiring visas to not requiring visa are: Azerbaijan, Bermuda, British Indian Ocean Territory, Burkino Faso, China (Taiwan), Croatia, Kuwait, Liechtenstein, Pitcairn Islands, Saint Helena, Saint Pierre & Miquelon, South Korea, United Arab Emirates, United Nations. Some of these updates are possibly not yet showing in border post systems, but the Swaziland Tourism Authority is working to sort out this anomoly.
