Visa Information
VISA information for participant
Namibia has a three-tier visa system:
Visa Exempt countries: No visa is required for entry and stay of up to 90 days. This is mostly for Southern African Development Countries (SADC) and countries with reciprocity visa agreements.
Visa on Arrival: Countries under this category are required to apply for the visa on arrival online, make the payment and secure instant approval before travelling to Namibia
Visa Required (Pre-Approved Visa Needed): A visa granted by the authorities is required before flying and entering Namibia. Documents required are: return air ticket, valid passport, hotel booking/letter of invitation/business letter, passport photo, and travel insurance.
Visa on Arrival and Preapproved visas MUST be obtained electronically in advance.
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you intend to enter Namibia.
All visa application fees are approximately 70 USD.
If you have had your visa processed online, you are required to produce a printed copy of your e-visa on arrival at the entry border post.
NB: If your country does not appear on any of the lists above, then you require a pre-approved visa before travelling to Namibia on https://eservices.mhaiss.gov.na/
