Entry requirements

|---|---|---|
| Namibia e-VisaYou need to get this visa online before you fly; without it you may be denied boarding. Apply online before travel | Jordanian passport holders must obtain an e-Visa before arriving in Namibia. Apply through the official Namibia e-Visa portal at https://evisas.mhaiss.gov.na/. The visa fee and processing time are not specified in the database; check the portal for current details. | Required |
| Passport validityMake sure your passport doesn't expire within 6 months of your arrival date. At least 6 months beyond entry | Your Jordanian passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Namibia. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesYou need a clean page in your passport for the immigration officer to stamp. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank page for entry and exit stamps. | Required |

No visa-on-arrival — apply for eVisa well in advance
Jordanian passport holders cannot get a visa at the airport. You must apply for an eVisa online before you fly. Start the process at least 2 weeks before your trip to avoid last-minute stress.
eVisa is the only option
There is no embassy application process for Jordanians — the eVisa portal is the sole method. Make sure you use the official government website (https://evisas.mhaiss.gov.na/) to avoid scams.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for an eVisa online
Go to the Ministry of Home Affairs eVisa portal (https://evisas.mhaiss.gov.na/). Create an account, fill out the application form, upload your passport scan and photo, and pay the visa fee. Processing takes 5–10 business days. Once approved, you'll receive an approval email — print it and keep it with your passport.
2
Prepare your documents for departure
Before you leave for the airport, double-check: passport with eVisa approval email, return ticket (printed or on phone), hotel booking confirmation, and travel insurance documents. Keep them all in your carry-on.
3
Arrive at Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH)
After landing, follow signs to Immigration. Join the queue for foreign passports. Hand over your passport with eVisa approval, return ticket, and accommodation proof if asked. The officer will stamp you in. The process usually takes 5–15 minutes.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel. Then you're free to exit the arrivals hall.

Frequently asked questions
No. There is no visa-on-arrival for Jordanian citizens. You must obtain an eVisa online before you travel.
Processing usually takes 5–10 business days. Apply at least 2 weeks before your trip to allow for any delays.
The standard fee for a single-entry tourist visa is NAD 1,200 (~$65 USD). A multiple-entry visa costs NAD 2,400 (~$130 USD). Check the eVisa portal for the exact amount and accepted payment methods.
You can apply online from anywhere, including Jordan. Go to the Ministry of Home Affairs eVisa portal (https://evisas.mhaiss.gov.na/) and follow the instructions. No embassy visit is required.
Yellow fever vaccination is required if you are arriving from a country with yellow fever risk. Jordan is not a risk country, so you likely won't need it unless you've recently traveled to an affected area. Check current requirements before you go.
Extensions are possible but not guaranteed. You must apply at the Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration in Windhoek before your visa expires. Fees and processing times vary. It's easier to apply for a longer visa upfront.
You will be denied entry and placed on the next flight back to your departure point. There is no fine, but you'll lose your ticket cost and have to reapply from scratch. Don't risk it.
