Namibian courts should sentence drunk and reckless drivers to hours of community service where they accompany paramedics to accident scenes and spend time assisting at mortuaries during the postmortems of road accident victims, so they can experience the real consequences of DUI.
Beginning April 1, 2025, the Namibian Government will require U.S. citizen tourists to obtain a visa prior to entering the country. Visitors are recommended to apply for their visa in advance of planned travel through Namibia’s online visa on arrival portal: https://t.co/tXhiRS7B09 . Visitors using this online visa application system must carry a hard copy of their approval notice when they travel.
Visitors arriving in Windhoek, Walvis Bay, or entering at high volume border crossing points (e.g., Katima Mulilo, Ngoma) will also have the option of purchasing a tourist visa upon arrival at the respective airport or border crossing point. Namibia’s visa on arrival system is new and implementation details are subject to change.
