One Stop Border Posts

A One Stop Border Post (OSBP) is where persons, vehicles and goods make a single stop to exit one country and enter another. Generally, its implementation includes simplification of documents and procedures and greater use of ICT.

As it is necessary to develop a legal framework that empowers border officials to operate in the adjoining state and to host foreign officials on their territory, the additional Key Document is a generic form (used in Southern Africa). It would need to be finalised by national legislative draftsmen so it conforms to national format.
