Cambodian passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Namibia. You don't need to apply in advance — just show up at the airport with the right documents and pay the fee. As of 2026, this is the standard process for tourism and short business visits.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival at Windhoek International Airport | Cambodian passport holders can get a visa on arrival at Hosea Kutako International Airport in Windhoek. Cost is 1,200 NAD (about $65 USD) — bring cash in Namibian dollars or US dollars. Have a printed copy of your hotel booking and return ticket ready at the visa counter. | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport needs at least two blank pages for entry stamps. Namibia strictly enforces the 6-month validity rule — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel required | Immigration officers at Windhoek will ask to see a confirmed onward ticket out of Namibia. Airlines also check this before boarding — a flight reservation or refundable ticket works. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host in Namibia. Officers at the visa counter may ask for it during the visa-on-arrival process. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Carry at least 1,000 NAD ($55 USD) in cash or have a bank statement showing sufficient funds. Immigration rarely asks, but the visa-on-arrival officer may request it. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa fee
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in cash — Namibian dollars or South African rand. No credit cards, no US dollars. Bring exact change if possible to avoid delays.
Travel insurance strongly recommended
While not mandatory for entry, medical costs in Namibia can be very high. A basic travel insurance policy covering medical evacuation is a smart investment.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH)
After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration' or 'Visa on Arrival'. There's a dedicated counter for visa-on-arrival applicants. Join the queue, have your documents ready (passport, return ticket, accommodation). The officer will process your visa and collect the fee. Expect 10–20 minutes.
2
Pay the visa fee and receive your visa
Hand over the cash (NAD or ZAR). The officer will stamp your passport with a visa sticker showing the entry date and allowed stay. Double-check the dates before leaving the counter.
3
Proceed to baggage claim and customs
After clearing immigration, collect your luggage and pass through customs. There's usually no further questioning unless you're carrying restricted items.
