Travelers from many countries, including the EU, Switzerland, USA, UK, Canada, and others, are eligible for a visa on arrival when visiting Namibia. However, applying for a Visa on arrival (eVisa) in advance is recommended to avoid delays, as internet connectivity issues at border posts can sometimes prevent card transactions from processing. Our team is happy to assist you with any visa-related questions to ensure a smooth entry process.

For a faster and more convenient entry, travellers can apply for their visa in advance through Namibia’s official eVisa portal.
