Namibia holiday visa preparation
Namibia’s e-services platform provides a Holiday Visa service, while tourism guidance also describes Visa on Arrival for selected nationalities and ports. The correct tourist route depends on the passport and application position.
A holiday application should tell a consistent story: safari or leisure purpose, dates, accommodation, return or onward ticket, itinerary and sufficient funds. The traveller should also confirm passport validity and entry point.
Tourist permission does not authorise employment or study. If the trip includes another activity, ask for the relevant purpose-based route before travelling.

Current-rules reminder: Visa categories, required information, fees, processing guidance and entry conditions can change. Check the live travel service and your airline or border instructions before departure.
Holiday visa cautions
