I didn’t understand, you received a visa, you needed a hotel for a visa. That’s it, your relationship with visas is over. Entry into the country is allowed. And now, even if you sleep under the fence, in a cheap or in a super hotel, no one cares.
You have a visa!

Naturally, not kvass, but you.

And the migration authorities do not check where you are and what is wrong with you?
I meant to report a change in booking to the embassy or at the border that changed the hotel.
I don't want to end up in a situation where when I leave South Africa I get a lifetime denial of entry due to a hotel change.

In order for you to issue a visa, the consulate or the Visa Application Center needs to have hotel reservations in the visa package, but this is in order to see that you will not be on the street.
Having received a visa, you can change hotels, live with an African (African), etc., the consulate in Russia does not matter. This is the case both in Europe and in the USA.

The embassy or consulate does not care about your hotel change. Do not violate the visa terms and rules of stay in the country according to the visa category and that's it.

And then the border service does not check whether you actually lived in a hotel?

Yes, my God, you are mine ... but how do you imagine it ... track every tourist ??? maybe you didn’t like the mattress there and you moved to another hotel .... what then? also report to the border guard? South Africa we have a closed country?

If you don't screw up, no one will show interest in you. At least sleep in a different hotel every night.

A person asks the right question, apparently by analogy with Schengen. In Schengen, the cancellation of a visa at the border in this case is possible (although unlikely) and legal. A similar issue on Schengen was discussed on the forum.
How things are in South Africa, without knowing their laws, it is impossible to say anything. Like the rest of the commentators, I can only assume - after South Africa has degraded to the level of a third world country, it is unlikely that they will find fault - it is unlikely that a white person in their right mind will want to come and stay there illegally))

The question is correct, but as in Schengen, no one will bother and check whether the tourist spends the night in the hotel specified when obtaining the visa. The main thing is that, in principle, there is a hotel reservation (if suddenly an unprecedented interest in your person is shown at the border).
The statement about a third world country is somewhat strange, South Africa is part of the G20, third world countries are not invited there.

The man did not raise the question specifically about spending the night.
Problems may arise at the border.
The fact that South Africa is in the G20 is inertia. The standard of living is no longer there. Whites run wherever they can. For comparison, now a visa to England, for example, is no easier for a citizen of South Africa to obtain than for a Ukrainian.

And what kind of problem can arise at the border if the tourist has a booking confirmation? The border guards do not see the visa application form, they cannot compare the declared hotels.
The standard of living as an objective indicator is certainly not measured by the ease of issuing a visa to the UK. But I was really interested, and I looked at the statistics of failures in the UK in South Africa and Ukraine. In 2015-2016, the average percentage of visa refusals for citizens of Ukraine was 19.2%, for citizens of South Africa 1.8%.

I do not want to breed flood. Under-young cases were discussed on the forum for Schengen, search and find.
About pisa, I did not talk about failures. I spoke about the ease of obtaining - a citizen of South Africa must follow the same visa procedure as we do, i.e. they do not belong to the developed world. I don’t see the point in arguing here, this is not related to the topic of the question, if you want to continue, create a separate topic on the forum, where I will tell you everything in detail.

If it is still relevant, then in the light of the upcoming visa-free regime with South Africa, the border guards should not be interested in changing the hotel at all.
