The United States (US) embassy in Namibia has announced that the Namibian government will require US citizens to obtain a visa prior to entering the country starting on 1 April.

“Visitors using this online visa application system must carry a hard copy of their approval notice when they travel,” the embassy announced.

The embassy added that visitors arriving in Windhoek, Walvis Bay or entering at high volume border crossing points like Katima Mulilo and Ngoma will also have the option of purchasing a tourist visa upon arrival at the respective airport or border crossing point.
