Covid-19: Namibia eases entry requirements for foreign travellers! [update #3]

update (12 September 2022): Namibia no longer has COVID-19 restrictions on entry. Travellers no longer need to provide proof of vaccination or a COVID-19 test to enter the country.

update (01 September 2022): The Government of Namibia has so far not officially gazetted the new regulation, which is required for the implementation of the updated entry requirement. We'll keep you posted!

update (30 August 2022): It seems that the new regulation has already become effective.

The Namibian Minister of Health and Social Services, Dr Kalumbi Shangula, has announced that foreign travellers visiting Namibia will no longer be required to produce a Covid-19 vaccination certificate or a negative Covid-19 PCR test result at the ports of entry. According to the Minister, the current epidemiological situation in Namibia no longer supports the retention of this requirement. Dr Kalumbi Shangula unfortunately did not mention when the new regulation will become effective, but it is expected that it will be announced in the next few days. We'll keep you posted!
