Summary
Namibia's Digital Nomad Visa is a short remote-work pathway administered through the Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board. The official checklist requires proof of income or funds, bank statements, police clearance, insurance, and other standard documents.
The published financial threshold is USD $2,000 per month for the main applicant, plus USD $1,000 per month for an accompanying spouse and USD $500 per month for each accompanying child.
Eligibility
You generally qualify if all of the following are true:
- You can document remote employment, an employment contract, or other proof of funds.
- You can show at least USD $2,000 per month for yourself.
- You can show the additional monthly amount for any spouse or children accompanying you.
- You can provide six months of bank statements.
- You have medical insurance or comprehensive travel insurance.
- You can provide police clearance and the other documents in the official checklist.
Duration
The visa is generally presented as a six-month digital-nomad stay.
What This Route Allows
This pathway can let you live temporarily in Namibia while continuing remote work supported by foreign-source income or funds.
What This Route Is Not
This is not a local employment pathway or a permanent-residence pathway. The official program says the six-month visa is non-renewable, does not allow a change of conditions, and may be applied for again only 12 months after it expires.
Next Steps
- Confirm your monthly income or funds meet the threshold for your household size.
- Gather six months of bank statements, employment or funds proof, police clearance, and insurance.
- Prepare the visa application and supporting documents.
- Pay the applicable fee after approval and plan around the visa's non-renewable six-month limit.
