About the Namibia visa

Namibia offers the red dunes of Sossusvlei, Etosha National Park, the Skeleton Coast and the German-colonial town of Swakopmund. Indian passport holders need a visa, which can be arranged online before travel.

Namibia has updated its visa rules, including visa-on-arrival options. Apply in advance to avoid queues and uncertainty on arrival.
