Frequently asked questions about the Namibia Visa on arrival

Which ports of entry issue the Namibia Visa on Arrival?

The Visa on Arrival isn't available at every border. You can obtain it at major ports such as Hosea Kutako International Airport and Walvis Bay International Airport.

If you're entering through a smaller border crossing, check the eligibility of the visa on arrival before arriving to avoid disappointment.

Do I really need three blank pages in my passport for the Namibia Visa on Arrival?

Yes. Namibian immigration is exceptionally strict about this requirement. Your passport must have at least three entirely blank visa pages (not endorsement pages) to be eligible for a Visa on Arrival. If you arrive with fewer, you'll likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at the border, as the visa sticker and stamps require significant space.

Does the 90-day limit for the Namibia Visa on Arrival apply per visit or per year?

The standard tourist allowance is 90 days per calendar year. While your Visa on Arrival might initially be stamped for the duration of your specific trip (e.g., 30 days), your total cumulative stay for tourism cannot exceed 90 days in a single year. If you plan to stay longer, you must apply for a formal extension at the Ministry of Home Affairs in Windhoek.

Do I need a visa to transit through Namibia?

If you're transiting through a Namibian airport for less than 24 hours and staying within the international transit area, you generally don't need a visa. However, if you plan to leave the airport or if your transit involves a long layover requiring an overnight stay outside the terminal, you must obtain a Transit Visa. Note that even for transit, travelers with children must still carry the required unabridged birth certificates.

Can I apply for a new visa while I'm already in Namibia?

No. You cannot apply for a new Visa on Arrival or eVisa while you're physically inside the country. These authorizations are strictly for entry. If you wish to stay longer than your initial stamp allows, you must visit the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security in Windhoek to apply for a formal extension before your current permit expires.

How long does the Namibia Visa on Arrival processing take?

The Namibia Visa on Arrival is usually processed quickly. With iVisa, you can get your Namibia Visa on Arrival in as little as 30 minutes (depending on your application and chosen delivery speed).

We recommend applying at least 2 days before your departure date to account for any unexpected government delays.

Do children/minors need their own Namibia Visa on Arrival?

Yes. Every traveler, including infants, needs their own visa or entry stamp. Most importantly, Namibia has strict unabridged birth certificate requirements. All minors under 18 must carry a full birth certificate showing both parents' names. If a child is traveling with only one parent, a notarized affidavit of consent from the absent parent is also mandatory.

What happens if my Namibia Visa on Arrival application is denied?

If denied, you will receive a notification. In many cases, most denials are due to not having three blank pages in your passport or missing child documentation. You can usually re-apply by submitting a completely new application with corrected information.

iVisa offers denial protection. In some cases, our experts can help you reapply for the eVisa, or you may need to apply for a traditional sticker visa at a Namibian consulate.

Can I extend my Namibia Visa on Arrival?

Yes, you can extend your stay while in Namibia, provided your total stay doesn't exceed 90 days per calendar year. You must apply for the extension at the Ministry of Home Affairs in Windhoek. It’s best to start this process at least two weeks before your initial 30 or 60-day stamp expires to ensure you don't face overstaying fines.
