Frequently asked questions
Typically, the visa on arrival allows a stay of up to 90 days. The exact duration is stamped in your passport, so check it before leaving the immigration counter.
No, the visa on arrival is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must leave Namibia and re-enter, or apply for a different visa type from a Namibian embassy before your trip.
The fee varies and is not always published consistently. It's best to carry around 50-100 USD in cash (or equivalent in Namibian dollars) to cover any charge. Check with the Namibian embassy in Brunei or your departure airport for the latest amount.
Only if you are arriving from a country with yellow fever risk. Brunei is not a yellow fever endemic country, so you likely won't need it. But if you've traveled through Africa or South America recently, carry your vaccination certificate.
Yes, visa on arrival is available at major land border posts, but it's not guaranteed at all crossings. To be safe, use a major entry point like the airport or a well-known border post. Always confirm with Namibian authorities if you plan a land entry.
Denial is rare for Brunei passport holders, but if it happens, you'll be refused entry and returned to your point of departure. To avoid issues, ensure your passport is valid, you have proof of onward travel, and you meet all requirements.
The visa on arrival is generally for tourism and short visits. For business activities, you may need a different visa type. Check with the Namibian embassy before traveling if your trip involves work or business meetings.
