The following documents must be carried with the visa on arrival when entering the country:

• Proof of international health insurance (english language)

• If travelling with underage children: Birth certificate and parental consent form (if only one parent is travelling).

You no longer need to send your original passport. A clear scan or photo of the main passport page (showing your personal information and photo) is sufficient for the Namibia eVisa application.
Please ensure that the entire page is visible, including the machine-readable strip at the bottom — no parts should be cropped out, as shown in the example below:

Once your Namibia eVisa is approved, it will be sent to you by email.
Please print out the eVisa and carry it with you when you travel.

It normally takes 5 - 7 working days for the Namibia Immigration Department to process your application.

However, the processing time may be longer due to the large number of applicants or public holidays. As such, we highly recommend you to start your application for eVisa to Namibia approx. 2 weeks before departure.
