Belgian nationals must have a valid visa to enter Namibia. The e-Visa is suitable for short-term tourism and business trips.
The process is entirely online, requiring the submission of personal details and travel itineraries. It is essential that all information provided matches your Belgian passport exactly. Any errors may lead to a delay in the review or issues upon arrival. For more details on the requirements for Belgian citizens, please refer to our dedicated guides.
Preparation is key to a smooth application. You will need a digital scan of your passport's bio-data page and a professional passport-style photograph. The image must be clear, in colour, and taken against a plain, light background. Discrepancies in documents are a frequent cause of processing delays. You can view all eligible nationalities to see if your travel partners require similar permits.
| Criteria | Guidance for Belgians |
|---|---|
| Entry Type | Generally issued as a single-entry permit. |
| Activities | Tourism, holiday, and business meetings only. |
| Stay Period | Defined by the dates granted upon review. |
Applying for the e-Visa involves both government and service charges. These fees cover the cost of the digital review and system maintenance. The time taken for a decision varies depending on the specific conditions of the application and seasonal demand. It is wise to apply as early as possible to ensure your travel plans are secure.
The e-Visa specifies the window during which you are permitted to stay in Namibia. While the system facilitates the request, the final entry is subject to the approval of immigration officers at the border. Ensure you do not exceed the permitted stay duration provided. You may check current processing costs for further budgeting.
Once you have submitted your request, you will receive a reference number. Use this along with your Belgian passport number to track the progress of your application through the status tool.
The approved authorisation is sent directly to your email in a digital format, which you should then print.
Each individual must have their own separate application and travel authorisation linked to their specific passport.
Stay extensions are not handled via the e-Visa system and must be requested from the appropriate authorities within Namibia.
