New Visa Requirements To Enter Namibia

[AfricaHunting.com]

IMPORTANT STARTING April 1, 2025: Nationals and citizens of countries that have not reciprocated Namibia’s gesture of visa exemption will be required to apply for a visa in order to gain entry into Namibia.

To apply for your Visa in advance to enter Namibia please visit the following link: https://eservices.mhaiss.gov.na.






Note: All foreigners must be in possession of a passport that will remain valid for at least six months after the intended date of departure from Namibia as well as a round trip airline ticket. While flying through South Africa, make sure you have at least two blank pages in your passport for visa stamps, more if you are adding stops to other countries in your itinerary.

That’s a little bit of a worry. One would like to have all your ducks in a row prior to wheels up.
Hakuna matata, it’s Africa ‍

If they fail to come through with your e-visa, you can always apply when you arrive at the airport in Windhoek. Not optimal, but not the end of the world. Good luck on your trip!

This thread spurred me earlier today to get my ducks in a row ! So I registered, logged in and started filling out the E-visa on line.
The first couple of pages were ok, name, dob, address, passport number etc etc.
Then it got a bit tiresome, upload return ticket, upload passport…….
I gave up. The form to present at immigration is far simpler. I’ll join the queue.

Ya my friend @JINKLE got approved same day, but this was before April 1st.

I submitted my E-Visa application on the 1st and still nothing. @TRAVEL EXPRESS told me they are most likely swamped since it went into affect this week…

I agree. Oh Africa

I am not too worried as I can get one on arrival, just wanted to work through the new system, its a pain, especially because I am leaving overland through Zambia so no return ticket.
