When is the best time to apply for my Namibia visa?
The best time to apply for your Namibia visa is 1-2 months before your travel date. However, if you are running short on time, we may be able to process your visa on a faster service at the Embassy’s discretion. -
Do I have to send you my passport to get a Namibia visa? Is it safe to send a passport?
Yes. You will need to send your actual passport, not a copy of it. The Namibia visa is stamped on your passport and will become one of your passport pages.
