Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Luxembourg passport needs to be valid for the entire time you're in Namibia. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Namibian law, but airlines sometimes enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Namibia | Immigration officers at Windhoek Hosea Kutako International Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed or digital hotel reservation, hostel booking, or a letter of invitation from your host. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it speeds up the process if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Have a bank statement or credit card ready. Immigration may ask how you'll fund your trip — a recent statement showing a few hundred euros is usually enough. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check this before you board. If your passport expires within 6 months of your entry date, you will not be allowed to fly. Renew early.
Keep a copy of your return ticket
Immigration at Windhoek airport often asks for proof of onward travel. A screenshot on your phone is fine, but a printed copy is even safer.

If you're staying airside and not passing through immigration, no visa is needed. But if you plan to leave the airport, you'll need to meet the same entry requirements (passport validity, onward ticket).

Not officially required, but it's wise to have a credit card or some cash (Namibian dollars or South African rand) to show if asked. ATMs are available at the airport.
