Digital Nomad
Who it is for
The official Namibia Digital Nomad Visa page lists freelancers, self-employed professionals or remote employees. It says the applicant must work remotely for companies or clients based outside Namibia. It also lists a minimum monthly income of USD 2,000. Elsewhere the page says the visa lets digital nomads work, live and travel in Namibia for a total of six months, provided that they earn USD 2000 monthly from outside of Namibia.
Income, funds and insurance
The page lists a minimum monthly income of USD 2,000. As proof of income or funds it lists a payslip or employment contract, to sustain yourself and dependants. The amounts shown are USD 2000 for the applicant, USD 1000 for an accompanying spouse and USD 500 per accompanying child per month. A 6 month bank statement is also listed among the applicant supporting documents. The page lists valid international health and travel insurance, plus a valid passport. It also says applicants must have health or travel insurance covering risks while in Namibia. The page words this differently in different places (health and travel insurance; health or travel insurance; medical insurance and/or comprehensive travel insurance), so confirm with MHAISS which cover is accepted.
Documents
The page lists these documents: visa application form 3-1/0033, signed by the applicant; a certified copy of the passport and/or legal status if in Namibia; proof of medical insurance and/or comprehensive travel insurance; copies of qualifications; a motivation letter from the employer; a medical certificate (3-1/0003); a radiological report (31/0004); and a 6 month bank statement. It also lists an original, notarized or certified copy of police clearance from the country of origin, translated into English.
How to apply
The applicant must complete and sign visa application form 3-1/0033. The page also lists a motivation letter from the Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board (NIPDB). It says this letter is to be submitted directly by NIPDB to the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security (MHAISS) with the application forms and supporting documents.
Fees and payment
The page lists a fee of N$3 300 (NAD 3,300). It says that after formal approval from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security (MHAISS), the applicant must pay before arriving in Namibia, or a local representative may pay the fee directly to MHAISS. After payment is confirmed, MHAISS issues a loose entry visa used to enter the country. Another part of the same page says the fee is required upon arrival, so confirm the timing with MHAISS. The page also says the NAD 3,300 excludes other expenses.
How long it lasts, renewal and restrictions
The page says the visa grants a six-month stay. It states that the Namibia Digital Nomad Visa is non-renewable. It also says no change of condition is allowed on a Namibia Digital Nomad Visa; the page does not explain what this covers. According to the page, applicants can only reapply 12 months after the date of expiry.
Family members
The page says an accompanied dependant must complete a separate application form (3-1/0033). For an accompanied dependant, it lists a marriage certificate and a full birth certificate among the supporting documents. For a spouse and for a child, the page's lists also include a medical certificate (3-1/0003), a radiological report (31/0004), a certified copy of the passport and/or legal status if in Namibia, proof of medical insurance and/or comprehensive travel insurance, and the motivation letter from NIPDB. Its proof of income or funds line lists USD 1000 per month for an accompanying spouse and USD 500 per month for each accompanying child.
What this page does not cover
This page does not cover processing times, whether any nationalities are excluded, whether the fee also applies to each accompanying dependant, how recent the police clearance, medical certificate and radiological report must be, or tax treatment. Check the official pages for them.
