Country-specific guide

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.
