Entry authorization for holders of diplomatic or official/service passports from non-exempt countries traveling to Namibia on government or international organization business, requiring a Note Verbale from the sending mission.
The Diplomatic and Official Visa is a specialized entry authorization reserved for government officials, diplomats, and representatives of international organizations traveling to Namibia on official business. This visa category facilitates the movement of individuals who hold diplomatic, official, or service passports, ensuring they receive the appropriate courtesies and legal recognition during their stay. It is not intended for private travel or personal tourism and is strictly tied to the official nature of the visit as verified by the sending state or organization.
To apply, the applicant must provide a 'Note Verbale,' which is a formal diplomatic communication confirming the identity of the traveler, their official position, and the purpose of their mission. This visa is typically issued at no cost, reflecting the reciprocal nature of diplomatic relations. Holders of this visa are expected to conduct their activities in accordance with international diplomatic norms and the specific terms of their official mission while in Namibia.
