1Overview
The Namibia Visa on Arrival covers tourism, visiting family or friends and business meetings for eligible visa-required travelers. It is valid for 3 months after issue and allows multiple entries.
Applying online beforehand is recommended; the visa is for entry only, and a new visa cannot be obtained inside Namibia.
Who needs it
- All visa-required travelers from eligible countries need it before entering Namibia; each traveler, including infants, needs their own.
- Transit under 24 hours inside the international transit area generally needs no visa; leaving the airport or staying overnight outside the terminal needs a Transit Visa.
- Requirements may vary by nationality.
2Requirements

- Children under 18Full birth certificate showing both parents' names; if traveling with one parent, a notarized consent affidavit from the absent parent.
Important to know
- Incomplete or incorrect documents are the main denial cause.
- Fewer than 3 blank passport pages can lead to denied boarding or entry; Namibian immigration is described as very strict on this.
- Missing child documents (birth certificate, parental consent affidavit) cause problems.
- Overstaying can lead to fines.
- A new visa cannot be applied for inside Namibia.
