Our guide to the Namibia visa from Belgium
Belgian passport holders need a visa on arrival to enter Namibia. Apply at the designated counter at the border or airport, complete the required steps there, and make the payment requested by the authorities.
The visa on arrival is obtained directly at the point of entry into Namibia. Prepare for the counter process, payment and requested documents, then check the current rules on the official portal or with the relevant embassy before travelling.
Do you need a visa?
Yes, travellers holding a Belgian passport need a visa on arrival to travel to Namibia. This is not a visa exemption. The stay period associated with the visa on arrival is 3 months.
How much does a visa for Namibia cost from Belgium?
The official fee for a visa for Namibia is not published in a source we can verify. Check the amount on the official portal before paying anything, third-party sites often add service fees on top.
What does a visa for Namibia really cost?
The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.
- Government feeNot published in a source we can verify
Paid to the state, non-refundable if the visa is refused.
- Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top
Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.
We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.
What documents are required for a visa for Namibia?
The exact list for Namibia is not published in a source we can verify. Every short-stay tourist application is nonetheless built on the same core:
- Valid passport
- Completed application form
- Compliant passport photo
- Proof of accommodation
- Return or onward ticket
- Proof of sufficient funds
Treat this as the common core, not the official list, confirm it with the consular authorities of Namibia before you apply.
Documents and fees
The documents to provide and the payment arrangements should be confirmed before travel through the official portal or the relevant embassy. Payment is made as part of the application at the arrival counter. Check which payment methods are accepted and whether having cash in exact change is appropriate.

Where do you apply for a visa for Namibia from Belgium?
A visa on arrival for Namibia is issued at the border post itself, at a counter placed before immigration control.
- Not every crossing issues it. Confirm that your specific airport or land border does before you book.
- The counter is reached after landing and before immigration. Follow the visa signs rather than the exit.
- The fee is usually paid on the spot, sometimes in cash and in a specific currency. Card is not guaranteed.
Using an online service
You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in Belgium on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Belgium but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

How long does a visa for Namibia take?
A visa on arrival is issued at the counter of the entry point when you cross the border: there is no processing time to plan for before departure.
Processing times and advice
The visa is requested on arrival, but the time spent at the counter can vary with passenger numbers and checks. Allow adequate time at the border or airport. Review official entry requirements shortly before departure, as rules can change.
Before you fly, and at the border
- Passport validity: most countries require the passport to stay valid beyond the return date, and the margin required differs from one destination to the next. Check it on the official source, and count from your return, not from your departure.
- A visa is not a right of entry. The border officer decides, and may ask for a return ticket, an address or proof of funds even when everything is in order.
- Conditional exemptions exist: several countries waive the visa for holders of a valid visa or residence permit from a third country. This depends on the destination and on the document, and we do not publish that rule when our sources do not carry it. The official page does.
- Minors travelling alone or with one parent are often asked for extra papers, typically a parental authorisation and the family record. Ask the post before booking.
- Overstaying is not a formality. It exposes you to a fine, to removal, and to an entry ban that can outlast the trip by years, including for the whole area when the destination belongs to one.
Common mistakes
Do not assume that a visa on arrival removes the need to check entry conditions before travelling. Avoid arriving without confirming the required documents or accepted payment methods. Do not confuse the associated stay period of 3 months with other conditions that must be confirmed through official sources.
