Common questions
Not under the Namibia official sources I found. The official lists are nationality-based for visa exemption and visa on arrival; mainland China is not on those lists, and the fact sheet says countries not listed must obtain an e-visa before travel. I found no official rule that a U.S. visa waives the Namibia visa requirement.
Under Namibia's official fact sheet, Hong Kong, China is listed among jurisdictions whose nationals do not require visas for holiday visits. Length of stay remains subject to immigration approval; secondary sources list up to 3 months in a calendar year.
The latest official fact sheet I found lists Singapore as visa-exempt for holiday visits, but a separate official Namibia visa-on-arrival page also lists Singapore, so official pages conflict. The conservative step is to verify with the operating airline/Timatic before departure.
No. Namibia's official fact sheet states the reciprocal visa policy took effect on 1 April 2025; the United States is listed among countries that may apply for visa on arrival and may also apply online for an e-visa.
