Citizens from countries that do not grant Namibians visa-free entry will require a visa for a fee from 1 April 2025. This was decided by the government in its consultation on the implementation of the new visa requirement, which was already announced a month ago (see report on Namibian.org [https://namibian.org/news/tourism/debate-in-namibia-about-new-visa-requirements-for-holidaymakers]).

Those affected who come from a country that is not a member of the African Union (AU) will pay 1,600 Namibia Dollar (currently around 80 euros) for the visa. This is slightly less than the 90 euros that a Namibian has to pay for a Schengen visa. For citizens from AU states, the visa fee is 1,200 Namibia Dollar (approx. 60 euros). There is no reduction for children.

Thanks for sharing. Looks like it will just be a part of the arrival form and part of the entry process. Just a little cash on hand is all. Not to much work or anything to worry about before hand
(How I read the article)

I can’t complain to much

New visa requirement applies to US citizens as well. Fee is about $90 USD at current exchange rates.

The Namibian Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security has announced the implementation date for new reciprocal visa requirements. Starting 1 April 2025, nationals from 32 countries, including the UK, USA, and Canada, will require a visa on arrival to enter Namibia.

Additionally, from 1 April 2024, visa fees for travellers from non-African Union member states will increase from N$1200 to N$1600 per person. Travellers from AU member states will continue to pay N$1200 per person. These fees will be reviewed annually.

To streamline the process, the "visa on arrival form" will be combined with the "arrival form," and the "departure form" will be discontinued.
