Namibia visa extension and stay planning
Namibia tourism information describes tourist stays of up to 90 days and notes that extensions for a further three months are available through the relevant immigration office in Windhoek. The current permission and extension conditions should be checked before relying on this option.
Track the exact entry and expiry dates printed on the issued permission. Prepare the reason, passport, accommodation, funds and travel plan that the current office may request, and make the request before the authorised stay ends.
An extension is not automatic and does not change the purpose of the original route. Tourist permission remains separate from work, study or residence permission.
Extension checklist
- Current visa or arrival permission

Extension cautions

- Do not use an extension for employment or study.
- Confirm the current office and procedure before travel.
Namibia FAQs
Can a Namibia tourist stay be extended?

When should I request it?
Start before the authorised stay expires and confirm the current process; an application does not itself extend permission.
Does an extension allow work?
No. Tourist permission remains for tourism and does not replace work or study permission.
