| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Namibia | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed copy or show it on your phone. Overland exit plans may also be accepted if you can document them. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host ready. Officers occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry bank statements or a credit card showing you have enough funds for your stay. There is no fixed minimum, but around NAD 1,000 per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa fee
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in cash — Namibian dollars or South African rand. There is no ATM at the immigration counter, so bring enough cash with you. Cards are not accepted.
Check your visa stamp before leaving
Immigration officers sometimes make mistakes. Before you walk away from the counter, check that the validity dates and number of entries are correct. It's much easier to fix it on the spot than later.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at immigration counter
At Windhoek's Hosea Kutako International Airport or any land border, join the 'Visitors' queue. Have your passport, boarding pass, and return ticket ready.
2
Present documents and pay visa fee
Hand over your passport and any requested documents. The officer will process your visa on arrival — you'll need to pay the fee (usually around NAD 1,200, roughly €60, cash only). Keep the receipt.
3
Receive visa and enter
The officer will stamp your passport with the visa sticker. Check that the validity dates are correct. You're then free to proceed to baggage claim and exit.

The visa is typically valid for up to 90 days. The exact duration is at the discretion of the immigration officer, so check the stamp before leaving the counter.
Extensions are not available for this visa type. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for a different visa category before your current visa expires.
Only if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk. Lithuania is not a risk country, so you won't need it unless you've recently travelled to an endemic area.
The same visa on arrival process applies at all official border posts. The fee and requirements are identical. Cash is still required.
No, the visa on arrival is single-entry. If you leave Namibia (e.g., to Botswana or South Africa), you'll need a new visa on return.
