Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit NA?

Brazilian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa to visit Namibia for tourism. They can enter visa-free and stay up to 90 days within a 12-month (calendar year) period. Brazil holds a bilateral visa-exemption agreement with Namibia, so ordinary Brazilian passport holders may travel to Namibia for tourism without a visa. On arrival, immigration issues a Visitor's Entry Permit (VEP) for stays of up to 90 days, subject to a maximum of three months within any single calendar year. Importantly, Brazil was NOT affected by Namibia's major visa policy overhaul that took effect on 1 April 2025 and expanded again on 17 September 2025: those changes ended visa-free access and imposed a Visa-on-Arrival (N$1,600) requirement on roughly 30-60 nationalities including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, and EU states. Brazilian tourists remain fully visa-exempt. The exemption applies to tourism only; Brazilians traveling for official or business purposes on an ordinary passport require a visa in advance. Namibia is in southern Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Standard entry conditions include a passport valid at least six months with at least three blank pages, a return/onward ticket, proof of accommodation, and sufficient funds.
