President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that tourists from Nigeria can now apply for a visa without submitting a passport.
Ramaphosa spoke on Tuesday at the opening of the 11th session of the Nigeria-South Africa Bi-National Commission (BNC) in Cape Town, which President Bola Tinubu attended.
He said South Africa has simplified its visa processes to facilitate travel for Nigerian business people and tourists, with measures such as five-year multiple entry visas.
He also pledged South Africa's commitment to removing constraints on greater investment and addressing the challenges faced by companies in both countries.
President Ramaphosa acknowledged the Nigerian government's reforms to further strengthen and foster a business environment that offers assurances to investors, including from South Africa.
The South African leader said Africa's development and the challenges facing countries of the Global South would be firmly placed on the G20 agenda.
