Health : Health facilities, hygiene and disease risks vary worldwide. You should take health advice about your specific needs as early as possible. Sources of information include: www.gov.uk/fco www.hpa.org.uk and www.nathnac.org, your General Practitioner or a specialised clinic.
Visa : Although British nationals can enter Namibia for a holiday or private visit of up to 90 days without a visa, there are cases where, on arrival, visitors have only been given permission to stay for periods much shorter than 90 days, some as short as only seven or ten days. Before leaving the Immigration Desk in the Airport Arrivals Hall, we recommend you check that you have been given a correctly dated entry stampp by Namibian Immigration officials, as this will be checked on departure.
