After recently introducing a visa requirement for 33 nationalities that were previously exempt, Namibia is now preparing to add 35 (or possibly 36) new countries to the list of those whose citizens can obtain a visa on arrival.
Since the introduction of its new e-visa and visa-on-arrival system, Namibia has welcomed over 70,000 visitors and generated N$100 million in revenue.
As of April 1, 2025, nationals of 33 countries, including several European and Western countries, must now obtain a visa to travel to Namibia.
Travelers from the 33 countries affected by the introduction of the Namibia entry visa requirement on April 1, 2025 can now apply for their electronic visa. Find out more about the procedure.
Faced with recent accusations of malfunctioning of its e-Visa portal, Namibia clarifies the situation and announces the launch of its electronic visa on arrival system for March 3, 2025.
From April 1, 2025, citizens of several countries will need to obtain a visa on arrival or online before traveling to Namibia.
The current visa exemption granted by Namibia to citizens of 31 countries will end in spring 2025.
