Namibia will implement a visa-on-arrival policy for international investors and tourists starting April 1, 2025, aiming to simplify entry procedures and attract more visitors and business opportunities. The move is expected to reduce bureaucratic barriers and position Namibia as a competitive destination for both leisure and investment.
Speaking in Windhoek, Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board CEO Nangula Uaandja highlighted the policy as a key step in the country’s economic strategy. By adopting international best practices, Namibia seeks to stand out among regional economies with stricter visa policies.
Beyond tourism, the country is also advancing in green hydrogen production using renewable energy, while simultaneously developing its oil and gas sector. With its rich natural resources, diverse wildlife, and adventure tourism appeal, Namibia aims to strengthen its reputation as a prime destination for global investors and travelers. The visa reform is seen as a crucial move to drive economic growth and reinforce Namibia’s image as an investment-friendly nation.
