You can apply online in advance, which (in theory) should make for a quicker and smoother experience at immigration. Or, you can apply on arrival, where you'll submit your documents directly to the immigration official when you land. This guide walks you through both options, what you'll need, and how to make the process as stress-free as possible – so you can focus on planning your Namibian adventure.
