The Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) no longer provides the Registration of South Africans Abroad (ROSA) online registration form.
South African citizens who are travelling or living abroad are encouraged to register and stay connected through the following channels:
-
Contact the nearest South African embassy, high commission or consulate-general in the country where they are located to register in person.
-
Send an email to: Rosahelp@dirco.gov.za
-
Register using the DIRCO Travel Smart App, which is available for download on both iOS and Android devices.
-
Visit the Consular Services page on the DIRCO website for essential information and assistance relevant to South African citizens abroad.
These services are intended to ensure the protection and well-being of South Africans abroad and to enable the Department to provide support in cases such as natural disasters, civil unrest, or family emergencies.
