Namibia’s visa-on-arrival system has generated more than N$490 million for the state since its rollout, President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah said during the State of the Nation Address in Windhoek on Wednesday.
The President said nearly 344,000 visas have been issued since the system became operational on 1 April 2025, reflecting strong uptake as Namibia positions itself as a more accessible destination for tourism and investment.
“Since the visa-on-arrival system became operational on 1 April 2025, close to 344,000 visas were issued, generating over N$490 million for the state coffers,” Nandi-Ndaitwah said.
She added that government is building on this momentum by introducing an investment visa and addressing bottlenecks in immigration services to improve efficiency.
Tourism continues to play a central role in Namibia’s economic strategy, with the President highlighting revenue generated through conservation and tourism-related activities.
