Botswana Passport & Visa Requirements

Botswana Visa Requirements 

British citizens do not need a visa for holidays to Botswana for stays of up to 90 days. 

Passport Validity for Botswana Travel 

Your passport must be valid for the entirety of your stay and have an ‘expiry date’ of at least six months after the date you arrive in Botswana. It must also have at least three blank pages. 

Other Key Entry Information 

Make sure your passport is stamped when you enter Botswana, as this records the date and location of your entry.   

If you’re travelling with a child aged 17 or under, you must carry an original or certified copy of their full birth certificate when entering or leaving Botswana. Any parent who is not travelling with their child must also provide a signed affidavit giving permission for their child to travel.  

If you’re travelling from a country with a risk of yellow fever transmission, you’ll need a certificate proving you’ve been vaccinated against yellow fever.
