Indonesia to Namibia visa requirements

Indonesian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourist visits to Namibia. Indonesia has a bilateral visa-exemption agreement covering holders of all passport types, allowing visa-free entry of up to 90 days (3 months) per calendar year. A free Visitor's Entry Permit (VEP) is stamped on arrival. As of 2026, Indonesia is on Namibia's list of countries with a visa-exemption agreement that applies to holders of ALL passport types (ordinary, diplomatic, official). Indonesian tourists therefore enter Namibia without a visa and receive a Visitor's Entry Permit (VEP) on arrival, valid for stays up to 90 days within a calendar year. Crucially, Namibia overhauled its visa policy on 1 April 2025, ending visa-free access for around 33 mostly Western nationalities (US, UK, France, Germany, Canada, Australia, etc.) and pushing them toward a paid visa-on-arrival / e-visa system (around NAD 1,600 for non-Africans). Indonesia was NOT among the nationalities that lost exemption and remains visa-exempt under its standing bilateral agreement. Note that one Namibian tourism portal (visitnamibia.com.na) lists Indonesia under visa-on-arrival, conflicting with the embassy exemption lists; travelers should carry proof of a return ticket and sufficient funds and may keep funds for a VoA fee as a precaution, but the controlling embassy and Ministry exemption lists place Indonesia in the no-visa-required category. Standard entry conditions apply: passport valid 6+ months with blank pages, onward/return ticket, and proof of adequate funds.
