What you need to enter Namibia with a Sammarinese passport

Visa on arrival or e-Visa for the reciprocity list (since April 2025)

Since 1 April 2025, nationals of the countries on the Namibian Interior Ministry's reciprocity list (Spain, almost all of the EU, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia and several African and Latin American countries, among others) need a tourist visa. It can be applied for online before travel or on arrival at designated ports of entry, including Hosea Kutako airport in Windhoek and Walvis Bay. The authorities recommend the e-visa because of queues for the arrival visa: it arrives by email in about 24 hours and must be carried printed, as it is not accepted on a phone. It costs 1,600 Namibian dollars (about 78 euros) for non-Africans and 1,200 for Africans; children aged 6 to 11 pay 800 and under-6s pay nothing. It allows multiple entries for the period requested. Work or volunteering requires a different visa or permit.

Transit rules

Before leaving the border post, check the length of stay granted and that the entry stamp is correct: immigration checks it on departure. If the visa granted is shorter than the trip, it can be extended at Immigration offices in the country. Anyone arriving or leaving through South Africa with children must also meet South African rules.
