Quick answer

Entry requirements vary by passport and travel purpose. Check the Ministry’s latest visa guidance before booking or departing; the linked fact sheet is Version 4 from 28 May 2025, so look for a newer issue.

Your passport is the starting point for checking entry requirements. The Ministry's Visa Fact Sheet describes Namibia's visa regime and application channels; the right answer depends on the passport you will travel on and the purpose of your visit.

Before you book or depart, check the latest guidance from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security and its e-services portal. The linked fact sheet is Version 4, dated 28 May 2025, so confirm whether the Ministry has issued a newer version. If a visa or other permission is required, follow the current official application process.

Treat older screenshots, forwarded messages and third-party summaries as a prompt to verify, not as your final source. Entry rules can change; this guide is general travel information, not an individual immigration decision.

What this means for your trip

Check the current Ministry source for the passport you will use before paying for travel. The linked fact sheet is dated 28 May 2025; confirm whether a newer version has replaced it.

Traveller impact: Outdated or passport-mismatched entry advice can disrupt boarding and arrival plans.
