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.
