Coronavirus (COVID-19) travel restrictions in Namibia – updated 28 December 2020
From 1 September, international travelers are permitted to enter Namibia through Hosea Kutako International airport.
As of 23 December, the following requirements are in place according to the US Embassy in Namibia:
- All non-Namibian travelers arriving in Namibia are required to present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result from their country of departure which is not older than 7 days. Children under 5 years old are exempt from this requirement.
- Non-Namibian travelers arriving with a negative result that is older than 7 days will be placed in quarantine and tested for COVID-19 on the same day at their own cost and will only be released if the results of this test return negative.
- Fill out a questionnaire prior to departure
These are subject to change, so please consult official government websites (such as the Namibia tourism board or Namibia embassy page for your country of residence) for the latest updates. Contact your airline for information on the availability of flights.
Everyone must comply with measures in place, including mandatory face masks in public, maintaining social distancing, avoiding crowded public places and adhering to limits on public gatherings. Stay across developments as the situation changes.
Before you buy a travel insurance policy, check your government travel warnings and health advice – there may be no travel insurance cover for locations with a government travel ban or health advice against travel.
