The Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security has called on travellers to be patient as the government implements the new visa regime coming into effect on 1 April.

In a statement issued on Thursday, ministry executive director Etienne Maritz said the ministry will launch the visa-on-arrival process on 3 March.

He said the introduction of the visa-on-arrival application form and the e-visa system is a key step towards enhancing Namibia's accessibility to global travellers.

"It will significantly improve the logistics for tourists and ensure a seamless, efficient experience when visiting Namibia. The ministry urges the public and travellers to be patient and allow it to complete the implementation of the new visa regime," Maritz said.
