The Namibian Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security has announced another update to its Visa on Arrival (VoA) system, effective as of 01 April 2025. Previously, travellers holding an eVisa still needed to complete an additional VoA form upon arrival in Namibia. This extra step has now been removed to streamline the entry process.
The eVisa now automatically functions as a Visa on Arrival (VoA) form. This means that travellers with a valid eVisa can proceed directly to immigration clearance upon arrival, with no further administrative steps required. All payments and documentation are handled in advance, simplifying travel and reducing entry wait times.
The updated visa fee structure has been published in Government Gazette No. 8613. It includes revised fees for travellers and families travelling with children visiting Namibia:
For Nationals of African Countries:
- Standard visa fee: NAD 1,200.00 (approx. USD 70)
- Children aged 6 – 11 years: NAD 600.00 (approx. USD 35)
- Children under 6 years: exempt from visa fees
For Nationals of Other Countries:
- Standard visa fee: NAD 1,600.00 (approx. USD 90)
- Children aged 6 – 11 years: NAD 800.00 (approx. USD 45)
- Children under 6 years: exempt from visa fees
Travellers are encouraged to apply for an eVisa before departure to ensure a seamless and hassle-free arrival in Namibia.
