You have to remember that even if the ban was lifted (so you are no longer formally barred from getting a visa or being granted entry), you still have a red flag in your file: anyone examining your application will see this and can decide you cannot be trusted, and deny the visa or entry.

In this case, you have a very small overstay, and I suppose you left voluntarily and spontaneously, so this should have a limited impact, but it all depends on the strength of your application. If you were borderline, then it would probably count a lot. If you have a strong application, then they are more likely to disregard it.

It’s probably a good idea not to apply for a new visa or entry right after the ban expired. Likewise, don’t plan for a stay anywhere near the maximum allowed time.

If you are from a country which does not usually require a visa, it may be a good idea to apply for one anyway. Better to get a refusal while you are at home than to be sent back at the border.

But again, only if you can present a very positive picture (very strong, clear, explicit and documented ties to your home country, mostly). Anything that smells of desperation to go back, or even a “need” to go back for any reason, may trigger a refusal. Remember that your situation will quite obviously be examined a lot more closely than it would for a “regular” visitor.

Honestly, I would be in your shoes, I would forget about SA for a few years, visit other countries and build a history of uneventful visits before going back.
