Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Namibia e-VisaYou need to get this visa online before you fly; it is not issued on arrival. Apply before travel | Pakistani citizens must obtain an e-Visa prior to arrival. Apply online through the official Namibia e-Visa portal at https://evisas.mhaiss.gov.na/. The e-Visa is valid for a single entry; the maximum stay is determined by the immigration officer at the port of entry. | Required |
| Passport validityCheck your passport expiry date – it must not expire within 6 months of your trip. At least 6 months | Your Pakistani passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of departure from Namibia. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesYou need an empty page in your passport for the immigration officer to stamp. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least one blank page for the entry stamp. It is advisable to have more than one blank page to avoid issues. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketIt's a good idea to have a ticket showing you plan to leave Namibia – they might ask to see it. Proof of departure | Although not explicitly required by the database, immigration officials may ask for proof of a return or onward ticket to ensure you will leave Namibia before your visa expires. Carry a printed copy or have it accessible on your device. | Recommended |
| Proof of sufficient fundsHave some proof that you can pay for your expenses – they might ask to see it. Financial means | While not explicitly required by the database, you may be asked to show evidence of sufficient funds to cover your stay in Namibia. Carry bank statements or a credit card as a precaution. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any extra arrival form – just the usual immigration procedures. Not required | No separate arrival declaration is required for Namibia for Pakistani passport holders. | Not required |
No visa on arrival
Pakistani passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Namibia. You must apply online and receive approval before you travel. Do not book flights without an approved e-visa.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Namibia, not from your departure date. Check your passport expiry now.
