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.
