Traveling to Namibia: Tips and insights

Even though you don’t need a visa, here’s how to make sure your visit is hassle-free:

1. Check your passport

Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned departure date. You’ll also need at least two blank pages for entry and exit stamps.

2. Prepare proof of accommodation

Whether it’s a hotel reservation, Airbnb, or an invitation letter from a friend or host, you’ll need to show proof of where you’ll be staying in Namibia.

3. Have a return or onward travel ticket

You’ll need a return ticket or proof of onward travel to show that you intend to leave Namibia within the allowed 90-day period.

4. Plan a basic travel itinerary
If you’re planning a longer stay or an extensive trip, having a basic itinerary with details of your accommodation and planned activities can be helpful.

5. Proof of funds
Be prepared to show that you have enough funds to support yourself during your stay in Namibia. This can be in the form of a recent bank statement or other evidence of financial resources.

"While you can visit Namibia without a visa to attend business meetings, an important distinction is that you can't be the facilitator of the meeting, which is considered working in the country."
