[Kwagga 0]

The U.S. Consulate General in Johannesburg is relocating from Killarney to a newly-built facility located at 1 Sandton Drive, opposite Sandton City Mall just west of the intersection of Sandton Drive and Rivonia Road. During our move, consular services for the public (including American citizen services and visa services) will be closed Monday, April 6, through Thursday, April 9. The Consulate General will also be closed during the Good Friday/Easter weekend from April 10 to April 13. The Consular Section will re-open to the public on Tuesday, April 14, in the new location.
