Hi everyone .

Do I need a transit visa as a French resident living in Mauritius, transiting through Johannesburg Tambo Airport from Mauritius to West Africa?

I have to collect my luggage in Johannesburg to check in to West Africa...

Thanks for the information

If you travel on a French EU passport, you do not require a tourist or transit visa for South Africa.

As long as you have a flight ticket, you should not have a problem. If you want to be 100% sure, phone the airlines, who will confirm. Remember, the responsibility is on the airline to ensure you have the correct visas etc... They will not let you board if your documents are not in order
