Namibia tourist visa requirements
Namibia tourism guidance says visitors should hold a passport valid for at least six months after entry, sufficient blank pages and a valid return ticket. Visitors also need a visa unless their nationality has an exemption agreement.
For a Visa on Arrival application, the online service may require passport, photo, travel and supporting information. The tourism guidance also identifies accommodation confirmation, itinerary and sufficient funds as useful preparation evidence.
Requirements can differ for business, employment, study or residence. The document file should tell one consistent story about the actual purpose and dates of travel.
Document checklist
- Passport and bio page
- At least three blank pages recommended
- Return or onward ticket
- Accommodation confirmation
- Travel itinerary
- Evidence of sufficient funds
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.
Requirement cautions
- Do not provide a hotel booking for a non-tourist purpose.
- Do not rely on an almost-expired passport.
- Do not assume a Visa on Arrival list replaces document checks.
- Keep digital and printed copies.
