Namibia Digital Nomad Visa
Open
Last verified July 2026
Open and officially administered by the Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board. It runs six months and is non-renewable. You may only reapply 12 months after it expires.
This is a clean, cheap, honestly designed six-month visa for a spectacular country with territorial taxation. It is explicitly a visitor product. It builds toward nothing, and the non-renewable design, with its 12-month cooling-off period, is unusually candid about that.

What can go wrong
- It is non-renewable, with a mandatory 12-month gap before you can reapply. This cannot be rolled into continuous residence.
- There is no path to permanent residence or citizenship whatsoever.
- The NAD is pegged 1:1 to the ZAR, so Namibian currency risk is really South African currency risk.
- Namibia remains on the EU AML high-risk list despite FATF delisting in June 2026. Expect banking friction.
