Namibia visa FAQs

What German travelers commonly ask about Namibia visas

Is a visa required for German citizens visiting Namibia?

Yes. Namibia abolished its previous visa-free policy for Germany because of a lack of bilateral visa reciprocity. All German citizens traveling with a standard ordinary passport must now obtain a visa for stays of up to 90 days for tourism or business meetings.

Should I apply for a Namibia online eVisa or choose the Visa on Arrival?

While you can technically line up and purchase a traditional Visa on Arrival at designated ports of entry (like Hosea Kutako International Airport), the Namibian government strongly recommends applying for an online eVisa or Electronic Visa on Arrival (eVOA) in advance. This pre-approval streamlines your entry and helps you bypass extensive airport border queues.

How much does the Namibian visa cost and how do I pay?

For adult German citizens, the standard visa fee is N$ 1,600 (approx. €82). If you get your visa at the border checkpoint, you can pay using a credit/debit card or cash. Minor children aged 6 to 11 pay a reduced fee of N$ 800 (approx. €41), while children under 6 are entirely exempt from the fee.

Are there any exemptions to this visa requirement for German nationals?

Yes. If you hold a valid German diplomatic or official passport, you're still completely exempt from the visa requirement under a reciprocal bilateral agreement. This exemption doesn't apply to standard, civilian German passports.

Can I extend my 90-day tourist visa while inside Namibia?

Yes, if you wish to prolong your holiday, you can apply for an extension for up to a further three months (allowing a maximum total stay of 180 days). You must submit this application in person at the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety, and Security headquarters in Windhoek before your initial 90-day stamp expires. You can't work or look for local employment during this extension.
