We wanted to share an emergency update regarding Namibia's upcoming visa regulations, which will come into effect on April 1, 2025.
Key Points:
• Visa on Arrival (VOA) Online Option: Starting March 3, 2025, travelers eligible for a visa upon arrival can apply and pay in advance online (recommended). This is an alternative for those who prefer to arrange a visa before reaching the immigration desk, aiming to reduce delays on arrival. The visa for the website's arrival options button is correct to choose.
• Amount: We are said to be expected to be N$1,600pp (approximately GBP68), and these are multi-entries valid for 90 days. These details are still on TBC though!
• Online Platform Launch: The Ministry of Home Affairs will launch an online visa application system on March 3, 2025, with all details and requirements expected to be made public.
• Official Announcement: The official launch event will be held at Windhoek on March 3, 2025, and the Namibian Tourism Bureau (NTB) will also hold another launch event at ITB Berlin on the same day to notify international stakeholders. Masu.
•No exemption travelers: Countries that are not exempt from a visa and are not eligible for a visa upon arrival must follow the existing process. Please apply in advance for necessary documents, including bank statements and other support documents.
•Pending full guidelines: The ministry guarantees that it will be published on March 3, 2025, with a list of eligible nationalities, full guidelines including designated entry points that will provide visas upon arrival. Masu.
As news comes out, we will do our best to keep the development informed. Once the procedures are published, it is highly recommended that all travelers review visa requirements in advance.
We will provide you with updates as soon as additional details are displayed.
thank you,
