The Arrive pillar covers everything a digital nomad needs to decide in the weeks before landing in Cape Town and the first few days after. Visas and the extended remote worker visa, airport transfers, banking for foreigners, SIM and eSIM setup, essential apps to install before your flight, and the first 48 hours on the ground. We wrote each guide as the version of ourselves who landed here in year one and had to figure it out slowly. Use this pillar to shortcut that learning curve. Every article is dated, every figure is verified, and every stat is sourced. If you are planning a one to six month stay in Cape Town and you want a clean, practical operational plan rather than tourism-board gloss, start here.
