What Do I Need for a Namibia Visa Application?
Depending on what visa you’re applying for, the documents you need may be different. A business visa can require different documents than a travel visa.
The Namibian government may change this process at any time and may request additional materials during the visa process, so make sure you are always prepared and up-to-date.
All visa applications require a valid passport that is good for six months.
If, by chance, you are visiting South Africa as well as Namibia, you will need to have at least 6 blank pages on your passport. You may be denied entrance if you don’t have six blank pages.
