To enter Namibia, your passport should be valid for at least six months from your entry date and have at least one completely blank page.
If you require a visa, your passport must have at least three blank pages.
Parents travelling with children under 18 must show the original or certified copy of the unabridged birth certificate showing the details of both parents. If the child is travelling with one parent only, then a parental legalised consent affidavit signed by the absent parent is required.
Note *1: Not all EU nationals are exempted from visa requirements when travelling to Namibia. Nationals of Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia require a visa to visit Namibia.

These countries are Angola, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Botswana, Brazil, Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Liechtenstein, Lesotho, Luxembourg, Macau, Malawi, Malaysia, Mauritius, Moldova, Mozambique, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Seychelles, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Swaziland, Sweden, Switzerland, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States of America, Uzbekistan, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

All visitors travelling to Namibia for business purposes, including doing volunteer work, require a visa, which must be applied before entering Namibia.
Nationals not referred to in the chart are advised to contact the nearest high commission/embassy for visa requirements for Namibia.
Although nationals from a visa-free country are allowed to stay for a maximum of 90 days, in practice, the immigration officers can grant you a period shorter than that. Before leaving the immigration desk, check that you have been given permission to stay in Namibia for the duration of your intended trip and your passport has a correctly dated entry stamp.
Fees vary.
For travellers applying in the UK, the following fees apply:
• Tourist visa: £95 for single-entry or £125 for multiple-entry.
• Volunteer visa: £65 for single-entry or £85 for multiple-entry.
• Business visa: £125 for single-entry or £155 for multiple-entry.
• An additional administrative fee of £35 applies to all visa types.
If you plan to work or study in Namibia, you must obtain a temporary work or study permit from the high commission or embassy in your own country.
Three-month visa extensions are available from the Ministry of Home Affairs in Windhoek.
