The Namibian government processes most eVOA applications within 48 hours. However, some applications may take longer depending on individual circumstances.
What You Need to Know
Processing times can vary due to government reviews, peak travel seasons, or if additional information or documents are required. With sherpa°, we submit your application promptly and monitor it closely. As soon as a decision is made, you’ll be notified right away.
Please note that the eVOA must be issued before travel, as an approval letter alone is not sufficient for entry into Namibia.
Our Recommendation
Apply as early as possible before your trip to avoid unexpected delays. Customers must submit their application at least 2 days before departure, and applying one to two weeks in advance provides extra buffer time, especially during busy travel periods.
A Quick Tip
Ensure your passport details and travel information are correct when applying. Even small errors can cause delays or require you to reapply.
