Entry Requirements for Namibia
A valid (for at least 6 months beyond
intended departure date) passport is usually all that is required
to enter Namibia along with a valid return/onward airline ticket.
Entry is then normally permitted for a maximum of 90 days. Extensions
are possible by applying to the Ministry of Home Affairs during
your stay in Namibia.

The rand can also be used as legal tender
in Namibia, however you will not want to use your Namibian Dollars
in South Africa as the conversion rate is usually only 70% of
its face value.
Traveler’s checks in foreign currencies can be cashed in
at banks and major credit cards, such as Master, Visa, and Diners
Club, can be used in most places. American Express is also accepted,
but not as widely as the other cards.
Generally speaking foreign currencies such as USD, Euro,
and GBP cannot be used for payment of goods or services, however
they can be exchanged for N$ at banks. We recommend traveling
with a minimal amount of one of these currencies to exchange
if necessary, then drawing local currency at an ATM upon your
arrival in Namibia.
