Namibia Passport & Visa Requirements

Namibia Visa Requirements

British citizens need a visa for holidays to Namibia. You can either apply for an e-visa online before travelling or obtain a visa on arrival at a designated port of entry into Namibia. 

Both of these visa options cost 1,600 Namibian dollars for travellers over 11 years old, or 800 Namibian dollars for children aged six to 11. Children under the age of six will not be charged a fee for a visa on arrival. 

Make sure your passport is stamped when you enter Namibia, and check that the entry date and permitted length of stay are correct. Immigration officials will check these details when you leave the country.

Passport Validity for Namibia Travel

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

Other Key Entry Information

If you’re travelling to Namibia with children aged 17 or under, you must carry their valid passports and full birth certificates showing both parents’ details (either the original or a certified copy). Namibian officials will not accept an abridged birth certificate.

If a child is travelling with only one parent or legal guardian, written consent from the absent parent or guardian should be provided in an affidavit. Similarly, if you're travelling with a child who isn’t your own, you must carry an affidavit of consent from their parents or legal guardians.
