Beginning April 1, 2025, the Namibian Government will require U.S. citizen tourists to obtain a visa prior to entering the country.
- Visitors are recommended to apply for their visa in advance of planned travel through Namibia’s online visa on arrival portal: eservices.mhaiss.gov.na/visaonarrival.
- Visitors using this online visa application system must carry a hard copy of their approval notice when they travel.
- Visitors arriving in Windhoek, Walvis Bay, or entering at high volume border crossing points (e.g., Katima Mulilo, Ngoma) will also have the option of purchasing a tourist visa upon arrival at the respective airport or border crossing point.
