I travel to South Africa 30th November 2009. My Passport expires 21st April 2010. Will I need to renew it?

I return from South Africa on 7th February 2010 so am wondering if I need to renew it before I go?

no because you return before your passport expires

Well that depends. If you're a South African living abroad and just going on holiday then yes you should renew your passport in order to stay in the country you going back to. But if you are not a South African citizen and you are going to South Africa on holiday then no you don't need to because your passport will still be valid.

Come to think of it, your passport must be valid for at least 6 months if I remember correctly. Best to contact the embassy.

Enjoy your holiday in sunny South Africa :)

best check with the embassy, cause it's normally at least 6 months that your passport need to be valid for from when you arrive.

Nope.

Not if you get murdered.

You should be okay. If I remember correctly, your passport should have 6 months on it. Phone and find out to make absolutely sure. You definitely dont want to get stuck in SA because of it. To get your passport renewed from there will take 6 weeks, and cost a lot more.

You don't need to renew your passport.
The South African Immigration Act states in paragraph 9.(4) (a):

A foreigner may only enter the Republic
— by producing to an immigration officer his or her passport to be valid for no less than 30 days after the expiry of the intended stay

However I recommend to renew it before 3rd September 2009. You will get a new U.K. passport valid until 21st April 2020 and you save £5.50 since the passport fee will be increased..
