0 Comments

 
Namibia will officially enforce its visa requirement for non-reciprocating countries from 1 April 2025, while also increasing the cost of visa fees for travellers from non-African Union (AU) Member States.
 
In May, Namibia’s Cabinet approved the introduction of a visa requirement for 31 previously visa-exempt countries, including top tourism source markets such as Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the UK, and the US. Travellers from the affected countries will now need to apply for a visa on arrival.
