Namibia eVisa rules for Slovak citizens: What you need to know

Namibia is a dream destination for Slovak adventurers. But before you hop on that flight from Bratislava or Vienna, there’s one important thing you need to sort out: your Namibian visa.

Here’s a full guide for Slovak citizens traveling to Namibia, including how to apply for an eVisa, when you can get a visa on arrival, and what to pack to avoid border hassles.

Do Slovak citizens need a visa to visit Namibia?

Yes. Slovak passport holders are required to have a visa to enter Namibia, whether for tourism, business, or transit. The good news? You now have two convenient options:

• Apply for an eVisa before departure
• Get a visa on arrival at specific border points

Two Namibia visa options: eVisa vs. visa on arrival

1. eVisa (recommended)
Apply online through the official Namibian eVisa portal or via iVisa for an easier process. Approval takes a few days, and you’ll receive a PDF you can print and carry.

2. Visa on arrival
Available at major entry points like Windhoek Airport, but not guaranteed at all land crossings.

💡 iVisa travel expert Femke Strietman says:

“If you’re flying into Windhoek or planning to cross remote borders, the eVisa gives you peace of mind. Less stress, fewer surprises.”

Where can Slovaks enter Namibia with a visa?

Planning a self-drive trip across the region? The eVisa is the safer choice, especially if using remote border crossings.

Namibia eVisa requirements for Slovak citizens

To apply, you’ll need to submit the following:

• Valid Slovak passport (6 months+ validity, 2 blank pages)
• Digital passport photo (for eVisa only)
• Proof of accommodation (hotel, Airbnb, or host invitation)
• Return or onward ticket
• Travel itinerary
• Bank statement or proof of funds
• Visa fee payment receipt (for eVisa)
• Printouts of all documents

💡 Femke’s tip:

“Always print everything, even if you applied online. Border posts may have limited internet access or tech issues.”

Common mistakes Slovak travelers make (and how to avoid them)

❌ Uploading blurry passport scans

❌ Assuming all borders allow visa on arrival

❌ Leaving the visa application to the last minute

❌ Having travel dates that don’t match your itinerary

”I made the mistake of applying the day before I left for Namibia, and making a spelling mistake. Next time I’ll apply at least a week ahead of my trip trip to allow time for potential delays.” - Jozef M., Nitra

Final travel tips for Slovak adventurers

• Traveling from Vienna or Budapest? Most flights connect via Addis Ababa, Frankfurt, or Johannesburg.
• Slovakia has no Namibian embassy — so online options are your best bet.
• Consider travel insurance that covers adventure activities like dune boarding or wildlife safaris.
