Singapore to Namibia visa requirements

Singapore ordinary passport holders can enter Namibia visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days (3 months) within any one calendar year. No visa, e-visa, or visa-on-arrival fee is required. Singapore is on Namibia's visa-exemption list for holders of all passport types. As of 2026, a Singapore ordinary passport holder may travel to Namibia for tourism, visiting friends/relatives, meetings, business exploration, or medical treatment without any visa, for a maximum stay of 3 months (90 days) within any single calendar year. This exemption survived Namibia's major visa policy reform of 1 April 2025, which imposed visa-on-arrival (N$1,600) on 33 mostly Western nationalities (including the US, UK, EU states, Japan, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand) but did NOT affect Singapore. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival and contain at least 3 blank pages. Travellers should carry proof of onward/return travel, accommodation details, travel insurance, and proof of sufficient funds, as immigration officers may request these. Note that visa-free entry covers non-employment purposes only; any paid work, training delivery, audits, or volunteering requires a work/employment permit regardless of the exemption.
