The Namibian government has announced that starting 1 April, 2025, US tourists as well as visitors from more than 30 other countries will be required to obtain a visa on arrival before entering the country.
As reported by IOL, the US Embassy in Namibia recently released a notice, which urged travellers from the US to begin preparations for the new visa requirements.
“Visitors arriving in Windhoek, Walvis Bay, or entering at high volume border crossing points (e.g., Katima Mulilo, Ngoma) will also have the option of purchasing a tourist visa upon arrival at the respective airport or border crossing point. Namibia’s visa on arrival system is new and implementation details are subject to change,” the U.S. Embassy revealed on X.
“Visitors are recommended to apply for their visa in advance of planned travel through Namibia’s online visa on arrival portal: https://eservices.mhaiss.gov.na/visaonarrival . Visitors using this online visa application system must carry a hard copy of their approval notice when they travel.” the Embassy added.
