    Eswatini: unambiguous N-schedule ordinary passports — visa-free

    The current Government schedule marks these unambiguous catalog countries N (no visa required). Conflicting South Korea and same-country rows are deliberately excluded.

    • The source labels N as no visa required; admission remains subject to Immigration examination, purpose and other requirements.
    • No duration, special-document, residence, work, transit or individual-admissibility entitlement is inferred.
    • South Korea has contradictory source rows; Eswatini’s same-country row is not citizenship evidence.

  2. Current official routeVisa required

    Eswatini: unambiguous Y-schedule ordinary passports — advance visa required

    The current Government schedule marks these unambiguous catalog countries Y (visa required). Its Home Affairs guidance directs visa applications to the Ministry or foreign missions. The eVisa portal does not publish an eligibility list, so this status is not normalized to eVisa.

    • Y means visa required on the cited government schedule. The same government guidance states applications are handled by Home Affairs or Eswatini missions.
    • The eVisa portal proves electronic issuance for eligible countries only; it does not identify which Y countries are eligible.
    • The Government schedule describes a narrow, case-specific visa-on-arrival procedure after a host or tourist undertakes that prior application was impossible, while the eVisa FAQ says VOA is unavailable. Neither source maps a nationality-wide ordinary-passport VOA entitlement, so no VOA policy is asserted.

    • This is limited to the ordinary short-visitor baseline; work, residence, special documents, extension approval and final admission remain separate.
