Is passport registration (RICA) required to activate my <strong>eSIMFlyer</strong> for South Africa?

No, and this is a major advantage for frequent flyers using eSIMFlyer in South Africa! Unlike purchasing a physical local SIM card at airports like Johannesburg (JNB) or Cape Town (CPT), which mandates a time-consuming RICA (Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provision of Communication-related Information Act) passport and biometric registration process, eSIMFlyer bypasses this entirely. You activate digitally, often before you even board your flight, ensuring you're connected the moment you land, without any bureaucratic delays.
