Peruvian passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Namibia. As of 2026, you'll get it stamped at the airport or land border — no need to apply in advance. Just show up with your passport and a few key documents.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get your visa at Hosea Kutako International Airport (Windhoek) or any other port of entry. Pay the fee in cash (USD or NAD) — currently around NAD 1,200 for a single-entry tourist visa. Have your passport, return ticket, and accommodation details ready at the counter. | Required |
| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Namibia. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Without one, you may be refused entry or required to buy a ticket on the spot. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a hotel reservation, hostel booking, or a letter of invitation from your host in Namibia. Immigration may ask for this at the visa-on-arrival counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient funds for stay | Carry cash (USD or NAD) or have a bank statement showing you can cover your stay. Around NAD 500–1,000 per day is a safe benchmark. Immigration may ask to see proof of funds. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa fee
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in cash — Namibian dollars or South African rand. No credit cards, no US dollars. Bring enough cash to cover the fee (NAD 1,200) plus any unexpected expenses.
Single-entry visa
Your visa is valid for one entry only. If you plan to visit neighboring countries (Botswana, South Africa) and return, you'll need a new visa each time you re-enter Namibia.

No, the visa on arrival is not extendable. You must leave before the 90-day validity expires. If you need to stay longer, you'd need to apply for a different visa type before travel.
The same visa on arrival process applies at major land borders like the one with South Africa (e.g., Nakop or Ariamsvlei). Have your passport, return ticket, and cash ready. Queues can be slower than at the airport.
Only if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk (e.g., parts of South America or Africa). Peru is not on the risk list, so you likely don't need it. But check your itinerary — if you transit through a risk country, you may need proof of vaccination.
No, the visa on arrival is single-entry. If you leave Namibia (even to Botswana or South Africa), you'll need a new visa on return.
You'll be denied entry at immigration. Renew your passport before traveling. No exceptions are made at the border.
No, Namibia does not offer an e-visa for Peruvian passport holders. The visa on arrival is the only option for tourism.
