Namibia passport validity and pages
Namibia Tourism Board guidance says the passport should be valid for at least six months after the date of entry and have sufficient pages for entry and exit stamps, with at least three blank pages recommended.
The passport used in the application should be the passport carried to Namibia. If a passport is renewed after application, confirm the current process before travel because an issued document can be tied to the original passport data.
Validity does not replace nationality and purpose checks. A traveller should still confirm visa exemption or Visa on Arrival eligibility and carry the return ticket and supporting file.
Passport checklist

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.
Passport cautions
- Do not count six months only from the application date.

- Do not use damaged or full pages.
