The Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security hereby informs the public that, as previously announced by the Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Cabinet has approved addition countries that are eligible for Visa on Arrival (VoA) in Namibia. This is part of the Government’s ongoing efforts to boost tourism, enhance bilateral relations, and streamline entry procedures into Namibia. The changes reflect Namibia’s commitment to openness, diplomatic goodwill and international cooperation.
National of the listed, countries are now eligible to obtain visas on arrival at designated ports of entry into Namibia. We welcome nationals of these countries to visit our e-services portal and apply for their visas on arrival. Manual applications are discouraged as they cause delays.
In line with efforts to discourage manual applications and improve border efficiency, Cabinet has approved an additional fee of four hundred Namibia Dollar (N$400.00) for manual VoA applications. The new fee for a manual visa on arrival application will be two thousand Namibia Dollars (N$2,000.00). The fee was previously set at one thousand six hundred Namibia Dollar (N$1,600.00). The implementation date for the new fee will be announced in due course, as internal processes first need to be undertaken. Once the fee has been gazetted, the public will be informed accordingly.
