Namibia to grant UAE citizens visa on arrival

ABU DHABI, December 1, 2019

UAE citizens travelling to the Republic of Namibia can obtain a visa upon arrival at Hosea Kutako Airport, and stay for up to 90 days, it was announced.

"Holders of all types of UAE passports may travel to the Republic of Namibia without prior visa arrangements, and stay for up to 90 days, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC) said.

UAE citizens wishing to travel to Namibia are required to complete a visa application form upon arrival and pay a fee of NAD1,080 ($73.6). They may also extend their stay while in Namibia after submitting valid reasons for the renewal and paying an administrative fee of NAD80 ($5.4). To facilitate the payment process, passengers must carry credit or debit cards.

The adoption of this decision will take place through many stages in terms of Namibian entry points, which are as follows:

- The issuance of entry visas at Walvis Bay Airport by the end of October.

- The issuance of entry visas at the Katima Mulilo Border Airport started at the end of November.

- The issuance of visas at Noordoewer, Ariamsvlei, Oshikango, Transkalahari and Oranjemund will take place during the first quarter of 2020.

Khalid Abdullah Humaid Belhoul, under-secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, said that Namibia’s announcement granting UAE citizens entry visas upon arrival reflects the strong bilateral ties between the two friendly countries, which are based on mutual understanding and respect and the desire to develop their relations, to achieve the aspirations of their leaderships and serve their mutual objectives and interests.

He added that this step is part of the efforts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation to reinforce the UAE’s international position and provide distinguished consular services, which is one of the ministry’s strategic objectives, as per the directives of the country’s leadership to care for Emirati citizens around the world. - TradeArabia News Service
