Can I get a visa on arrival in Namibia?

Yes, a visa on arrival is available at main entry points, but applying online for the eVisa in advance avoids queues and uncertainty.

What documents do I need?

A passport valid for at least six months from arrival with blank pages, a recent photo, a confirmed return or onward flight, and proof of accommodation.

How long does the eVisa take?

Namibia eVisas are usually processed within a few working days. Apply ahead of travel via the official portal.

How long can I stay in Namibia?

Tourist entry is generally granted for up to 90 days per year.

Is Namibia good for self-drive safaris?

Yes. Namibia is one of Africa’s top self-drive destinations — a tourist visa covers driving between Etosha, Sossusvlei and the coast with an international driving permit.

A Namibia Tourist eVisa costs $78 through VisitsVisa. The $78 price is all-inclusive — the government fee and our service fee are already bundled in, so there are no hidden charges at checkout.

How long does Namibia visa processing take?

Standard Namibia visa processing usually takes 4 days. If you are travelling soon, choose Express at checkout and we prioritise your application, with delivery typically within 24 hours. We recommend applying a few days before departure so your Namibia eVisa is confirmed well ahead of your flight.

How long is a Namibia visa valid and how long can I stay?

The Namibia Tourist eVisa permits a stay of Up to 90 days and is valid for 3 months from issue (single entry). Make sure your passport has at least six months of validity remaining from your date of arrival, as this is the most common reason Namibia applications are refused.
