Namibia Visa on Arrival preparation
Namibia’s Ministry e-services page provides a Visa on Arrival service with online application, secure payment and application tracking. It states that the route can cover up to 90 days for eligible travellers, subject to the permission issued.
Eligibility is nationality- and purpose-sensitive. The tourism guidance says Visa on Arrival is intended for tourist purposes at selected airports, harbours and land borders, so a business, study or employment trip needs another route.
Apply in advance where the online route is available, retain the reference and carry the same passport and supporting evidence at the selected point of entry.
