Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Namibia e-VisaYou need to get this visa online before you fly – it's not available on arrival. Apply online before travel | Algerian passport holders must obtain an e-Visa prior to arrival. Apply through the official Namibian e-Visa portal at https://evisas.mhaiss.gov.na/. The visa is valid for a single entry; the maximum stay is determined by the immigration officer at the port of entry. | Required |
| Passport validityMake sure your passport doesn't expire too soon – it needs to be valid for half a year after you leave Namibia. At least 6 months | Your Algerian passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of departure from Namibia. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesYou need an empty page in your passport for the immigration stamp. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must contain at least one blank visa page for entry and exit stamps. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketIt's a good idea to have a flight out of Namibia booked – they might ask to see it. May be requested | Although not explicitly required, immigration officials may ask for proof of a return or onward ticket to verify your departure plans. It is strongly recommended to have one. | Recommended |
| Proof of sufficient fundsHave some money available (cash or card) and be ready to show you can support yourself during your visit. May be requested | While not explicitly required, you should be able to demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to cover your stay in Namibia. This is at the discretion of the immigration officer. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any extra arrival form – just the usual immigration paperwork. Not required | No separate arrival declaration is required for Namibia for Algerian passport holders. | Not required |
No visa on arrival
Namibia does not offer visa on arrival for Algerian passport holders. You must apply for an e-visa online before you travel. Do not book non-refundable flights until you have the e-visa approval.
E-visa is the only option
The Namibian e-visa is the sole method for Algerian citizens to obtain a visa. There is no embassy application process. Use the official portal at https://evisas.mhaiss.gov.na/.
What happens at the border

3
Wait for processing
Processing typically takes 2-5 business days. You will receive an email notification once your e-visa is approved. Check your spam folder if you don't see it. The e-visa is electronically linked to your passport.
4
Print or save the e-visa approval
Print a copy of the e-visa approval email or save it on your phone. While the e-visa is linked to your passport, having a copy can speed up check-in and immigration.
