Do I need a visa to travel to Namibia?
No visa is required for stays under 90 days in Namibia. Simply present a passport valid for at least 6 months, a return ticket, and have your passport stamped upon arrival.
Visa-free entry conditions
For a tourist trip to Namibia of less than 90 days, French nationals benefit from a visa exemption. This rule also applies to citizens of the European Union.
Required documents to present
- Passport: valid for at least 6 months after the planned return date
- Return flight ticket or continuation to another country
- Proof of accommodation: accommodation reservations recommended
Formalities upon arrival
Upon your arrival at Namibian border posts (Windhoek airport, land borders), you will need to:
- Specify your departure date to the authorities
- Have your passport stamped with an entry stamp
- Keep this stamp carefully for your exit from the country
Key points to remember
This visa exemption only applies to tourist stays. For any other purpose (work, studies, residence), specific formalities apply.
