Yes, every traveler, including children and minors, must have their own separate Namibia eVOA application. Namibia considers anyone under the age of 18 a minor.
What You Need to Know
Individual Application: Each child requires an individual application form and their own valid passport.
Mandatory Documentation for Minors
Upon arrival, immigration officials require additional documents to prevent child trafficking:
Unabridged Birth Certificate: You must carry the original or a certified copy of the child’s full birth certificate showing the names of both parents.
Parental Consent Affidavit: If a child is traveling with only one parent, an affidavit of consent from the non-traveling parent is required.
Legal Guardianship: If traveling with a legal guardian, documentation proving legal custody must be presented.
Our Recommendation
Parents or guardians should apply for each child’s eVisa well in advance of travel and submit the guardian’s and child’s applications together under the same account. Always double-check all passport and personal details before submitting.
A Quick Tip
Prepare all required documents for your child in advance, such as a valid passport and proof of guardianship if requested. If you are applying through sherpa°, make sure your own application is submitted along with your child’s to avoid delays or rejection.
