My request for a visa to enter Namibia on-line was immediately acknowledged and the visa was granted on-line within 12 hours. Great service
The application was simple but I made a mistake about dates but was easily able to speak to the helpline who fixed it straight away and i received the evisa the following day.
I found the website easy to manage (with some details a little confusing) but generally a good experience
Application made easy, with backup support. Peace of mind that you are getting the correct paperwork for the countries visited. This is the second time we have used i-visa. Worth paying more for the service and peace of mind.
A few problems encountered finding a way forward but I’m not very computer literate..Got there in the end. Could do with a little more instruction ref taking photo of passport. Got there in the end.
I felt as though all the checks were done thoroughly before the final submission was sent
The process for applying for an E Visa, was very straightforward and an easy process, I had my visa within the hour.
A simple process made irksomeby asking for a repeat selfie.However my Nambian visa was issued in three days.Impressive if a bit costly
Easy to follow and allowed time to find information that had not been provided, in my instance it was a zip code that took a few hours to obtain. Also the cost, whilst the visa cost was given there was no indication that there was also an administration charge that was more expensive than the cost of the visa. An upfront notification would have been appreciated.
