Visa for Namibia
We received an email from Tauck informing us that we will need a visa for our upcoming trip to Namibia. The Namibian government recently announced the eVisa effective April 1, 2025. You may obtain this eVisa on arrival but Tauck strongly suggests applying for it in advance of arrival.

Wow. No visas needed when we went
Tauck sent us information regarding applying visa to Namibia. The visa website isn’t working. We have called and emailed Namibian embassy, emailed visa application IT support. Nothing! Tauck rep said may be try get visa upon arrival!
Our trip is in mid June. Any information or help is much appreciated.
My husband applied for the visa and he spent a tremendous amount of time on it. He used a credit card for his visa and it went through but he had to use a different card for my visa and it had a security feature that blocked it the second time around. It was difficult but finally we were successful.
Three of us, one who works in IT, tried to get this done for our upcoming trip. One got it done except for the photo upload, the IT friend and I are doing ours on arrival.. We have plenty of times we don't have to collect luggage. The Tauck people, on two different phone calls, said it is easy on arrival and don't worry about it because they aren't going to not admit you.
Tauck instructions are helpful if the website works! Granted, it started April 1st and there are glitches.
Here is what we did that worked. We (6 friends going on this trip together) found these out through trial and error today!
1- creat iCloud email! We had mix experience with gmail and others.
2- use a laptop not tablet or phone
3- use visa credit card.
4- have all your docs ready.
I used my iPhone to compress file sizes and convert files to pdf and jpg. Emailed them to myself to use in visa application.
We now have our visas, printed copy and pdf saved on our phones!
Good luck all.
