Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|

| Valid passport Required | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Namibia. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required | Immigration officers at Windhoek Hosea Kutako International Airport routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or onward ticket ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Hotel bookings or a letter of invitation from your host in Namibia can speed up the immigration process. Officers may ask where you are staying — have the address and contact number ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | Carry at least 1,000 NAD (or equivalent in USD/EUR) per day of your stay. Immigration rarely asks, but having a bank statement or cash on hand avoids any issues. | Recommended |
Apply early — no exceptions at the border
Namibia strictly enforces the visa requirement for Moroccan passport holders. There is no visa on arrival, no waiver, and no way to apply at the airport. If you show up without an approved eVisa, you will be sent back. Apply at least 2 weeks before your trip.
Keep a printed copy of your eVisa
Immigration officers at Windhoek airport prefer a paper copy. Digital versions on your phone are accepted but can be slow if the network is weak. Print two copies — one for your bag, one for your pocket.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for your eVisa online
Go to the official Namibian eVisa website (evisa.gov.na). Fill in the application form, upload a digital passport photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee (around NAD 1,200 / USD 65) by credit card. Processing usually takes 5–10 business days.
2
Receive and print your visa approval
Once approved, you'll get a PDF by email. Print a paper copy and also save it on your phone. You'll need to show it at check-in and upon arrival in Namibia.
3
Prepare your documents for travel
Before you leave, gather: passport (6+ months validity), printed eVisa, return/onward ticket, first-night accommodation confirmation, and travel insurance. Keep them in your carry-on.
4
Arrive at Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH)
Most flights from Morocco connect via Addis Ababa, Doha, or Johannesburg. At Windhoek immigration, join the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Hand over your passport, printed eVisa, and return ticket. The officer will stamp you in — typically for up to 90 days.

Frequently asked questions
No. Namibia does not offer visa on arrival for Moroccan citizens. You must obtain an eVisa before you travel.
The standard eVisa fee is approximately NAD 1,200 (about USD 65). Payment is made online by credit card during the application.
Processing usually takes 5–10 business days. Apply at least 2 weeks before your departure to be safe.
The eVisa typically allows a stay of up to 90 days. The exact duration will be stamped on your passport upon arrival.
Extensions are not available for eVisa holders. If you need to stay longer, you must leave and reapply for a new visa.
If you are arriving from a country with yellow fever risk (including transit stops), you need a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Morocco is not a risk country, but check your flight route — if you connect through a country like Ethiopia or Kenya, you may need the vaccine.
You will be denied entry and placed on the next flight back to your point of origin. There is no way to apply at the airport. Always have your approved eVisa printed before you travel.
