Do I Need a Visa for Namibia?

Yes. A visa is required for US citizens to travel to Namibia. Tourist visas for stays of less than 90 days are issued on arrival, but travelers going to Namibia for business purposes or volunteer work must obtain their visas in advance via the Embassy of Namibia in Washington, DC. In addition to a visa, all travelers must have a valid passport that will still be good for at least six months beyond the planned departure date from Namibia. If you are visiting South Africa as well as Namibia, it is highly recommended that your passport have at least 6 blank, unstamped visa pages. Immigration authorities in these two countries are extremely particular about the passport having ample blank pages, and travelers whose passports do not meet this requirement have been denied entrance and forced to return to the US immediately at their own expense.
