Overview

Explore Namibia...​ 

Namibia is a country in southern Africa, bordered by Angola, Zambia, Botswana, and South Africa, with a coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. It is known for its arid climate, the Namib Desert, and diverse wildlife, including species adapted to desert conditions.

Fun Fact: Namibia is the first country in the world to include environmental conservation in its constitution, leading to vast protected areas and thriving wildlife, including the largest population of free-roaming black rhinos.

Namibian Dollar

The currency used in Namibia is the Namibian dollar (NAD), which was introduced in 1993 to replace the South African rand (ZAR), after Namibia gained independence.  

Africa

Africa is the second largest and second most populous continent, covering approximately 20% of the Earth’s surface and situated primarily between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Made up of 54 recognised countries, Africa is renowned for its diverse cultures, rich history, and vast natural resources, including the Sahara Desert, the Nile River, and the Serengeti Plain. The continent is cut almost equally in two by the Equator, meaning most of Africa lies within the tropical region, bounded on the north by the Tropic of Cancer and on the south by the Tropic of Capricorn.

Visa Guidelines

Start with the customer – find out what they want and give it to them.

Visa applications? Not exactly riveting, but often essential and always unavoidable.

We’ve done the research and pulled everything together to save you time, effort, and energy.

In the tabs, you can check if your child or student needs a visa for their trip. If they do, you’ll find clear guidance, embassy links, required documents, and step-by-step instructions.

And when it comes to submitting the application, parents really are best placed. After all, no one knows the travelling student better.

Parents should ensure that their child's documents meet the official travel requirements for Namibia.

If your child holds multiple passports and plans to travel with one, while their UAE residency visa is linked to another, please make sure they carry both passports during their trip!

Review the sample documents and the relevant official checklists to ensure that all specific criteria are met.
