Frequently asked questions
No. Namibia does not offer visa on arrival for Lebanese citizens. You must obtain an e-visa online before you travel.
Processing typically takes 5–10 working days, but can vary. Apply at least 2 weeks before your planned departure to be safe.
Visa fees vary by visa type. For a single-entry tourist visa, the fee is NAD 1,200 (~$65 USD). Multiple-entry tourist visas cost NAD 2,400 (~$130 USD). Check the e-visa portal for the exact amount.
If you are arriving from a country with yellow fever risk, you must show a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Lebanon is not a yellow fever endemic country, so it's not required if you travel directly from Lebanon. But if you transit through an endemic country, you may need it.
Extensions are possible but not guaranteed. You must apply at the Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration in Windhoek before your visa expires. The process can take several days and requires a valid reason. Overstaying incurs a fine of NAD 200 (~$11 USD) per day, up to a maximum of NAD 10,000 (~$540 USD).
Typically: a completed online application form, your passport (valid 6+ months), a passport-sized photo, flight itinerary, hotel booking, proof of sufficient funds (bank statement), and the visa fee. Some applications may ask for a cover letter explaining your travel purpose.
No, Namibia does not have an embassy in Lebanon. However, since the e-visa is processed online, you do not need to visit an embassy. Apply directly through the official e-visa portal.
