ROSA is the acronym for the ‘Registration of South Africans Abroad’, a software program developed by the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) allowing travelers to register on-line.
The information travelers register on ROSA allows the Department of International Relations and Cooperation to assist South African citizens in event of an emergency. The registration is a free, voluntary service provided by Government (through the Department of International Relations and Cooperation). ROSA is only available to South African citizens who are travelling, living or working abroad.
