Travellers from Namibia who need a Dubai visa can get a 30 or 60 day UAE tourist visa from us in single or multiple entry, and the approval normally takes between 24 and 72 hours. Fees begin at AED 450, the document list is short, and the whole application runs on WhatsApp with our team in Dubai. Here is everything a Namibia traveller needs to know: cost, paperwork, timing, validity and what happens when the visa is about to expire.
The essentials for Namibia citizens: 30 day single entry AED 450, 60 day single entry AED 650, 30 day multiple entry AED 800, 60 day multiple entry AED 1,000. Expect a 24 to 72 hour turnaround and a 60 day window to enter after issue.

Is a Dubai visa required for Namibia citizens?
Most nationalities need a prearranged visa before flying to the UAE, and that is what we issue. Certain passports qualify for visa on arrival, and eligibility rules shift from year to year. If you are unsure whether a Namibia passport falls under visa on arrival or needs a prearranged Dubai visa, send us a photo of the passport on WhatsApp and we will confirm before you pay anything.
What a Dubai visa costs from Dubai
Current Dubai visa pricing for Namibia citizens, verified September 2026:
- 30 day tourist visa, single entry: AED 450
- 60 day tourist visa, single entry: AED 650
- 30 day multiple entry: AED 800
- 60 day tourist visa, multiple entry: AED 1,000
The 30 day visa is the shortest tourist option the UAE offers. Fees are not refundable on rejection, since the government charge is paid the moment the application is lodged.
Security deposits explained
Certain nationalities may need to place a refundable security deposit. This is independent of the visa cost, refunded once you depart the UAE, and we tell Namibia applicants in advance whether one applies.
Pay in monthly instalments
UAE residents applying for a family member or friend from Namibia can split the visa fee using Tabby with up to 12 months, Tamara with extendable terms, or a UAE credit card with 3, 6, 9 or 12 month plans depending on the issuing bank. All other applicants receive a secure online payment link.
Documents required for a Dubai visa on a Namibia passport
Share these items on WhatsApp and we will confirm whether we can proceed, typically within the hour:
- Passport scan showing the front page and the back cover, valid for at least six months. A missing back cover is the most common reason an application is returned, so please include both.
- A white background colour photo in passport format, without eyewear.
- Confirmed two way flight booking. We can book the flights on your behalf if needed.
- If the applicant is a minor, a birth certificate. Certain passports additionally need a national ID card copy.
Some nationalities may be asked for a six month bank statement, and where that applies to a Namibia passport a UAE based family member’s statement can be submitted on your behalf. On arrival, immigration may request evidence of funds, so have a bank card or cash to hand.
Applying through a family member or friend in the UAE
When a UAE resident applies on behalf of a Namibia visitor, we also need the sponsor’s passport copy valid for six months, residence visa page valid for six months, Emirates ID front and back, and the guarantee form completed at applyvisa.app. The sponsor’s bank statement can stand in for the applicant’s where one is required, but this applies to family members only, not friends.
How Namibia citizens apply
- Send your documents on WhatsApp to +971 52 292 1011 or +971 4 220 2133. We check them the same day and tell you which visa suits your travel dates.
- Pay through the secure link or instalment plan we send. Processing starts only after documents are verified and payment is received.
- The application is filed and monitored by our team. Expect 24 to 72 hours for most Namibia applicants, with occasional delays or extra document requests from immigration.
- The approved visa arrives as a PDF on WhatsApp. Carry a printed or digital copy for the airline and for immigration on arrival.
Validity, entry and stay rules for Namibia visitors
The visa must be used to enter the UAE within 60 days of the date of issue. Your permitted stay runs from the entry stamp, not from the issue date. Single entry means one arrival only, while multiple entry allows repeated exits and returns during the validity period, useful for side trips to Oman, Saudi Arabia or Qatar. Working on a tourist visa is not allowed.
Why the expiry date matters
There is no grace period on a UAE tourist visa. Every day beyond expiry costs AED 50, whichever emirate issued the visa, starting immediately. Overstays beyond 30 days additionally require an exit permit of roughly AED 250 to 300. We send Namibia clients a reminder on WhatsApp before the visa expires so that you can extend or exit in time.
Staying longer than 30 or 60 days
The 30 day visa allows three extensions of 30 days and the 60 day visa allows two, without leaving the country. The overall ceiling is 120 days of stay. At the 120 day point, a new visa requires an exit, which can be done by an airport to airport change or the bus to Oman. Extension applications must be submitted before the current visa expires, so contact us with at least a week remaining.
An alternative issued through Sharjah
An alternative is the 60 day single entry visa issued through Sharjah, priced at AED 1,200 without any deposit. Holders may move freely across all seven emirates. Ask us on WhatsApp which option is better for a Namibia passport.
Mistakes Namibia applicants should avoid
- No back cover scan. Send it together with the front page.
- Less than six months on the passport. Immigration will not approve the visa in that case.
- Poor quality scans. Make sure the whole page is visible and readable.
- Previous overstays, unpaid fines or improperly cancelled visas. Tell us about any past UAE history so we can advise honestly before you pay.
- Single name passports. If your Namibia passport shows only one name and no supporting document shows a full name, the visa cannot be processed, so contact us before paying.
- Last minute applications. Give us a minimum of three working days, longer around Eid and the winter peak.
Frequently asked questions about Dubai visa for Namibia passport
What is the processing time?
Expect 24 to 72 hours for a Namibia passport. Immigration controls the timing and occasionally requests extra paperwork.
How much is a 30 day Dubai visa for Namibia citizens?
The 30 day visa is AED 450 single entry or AED 800 multiple entry, with Indian and Filipino passports at AED 400 and AED 750. Some nationalities may also need a refundable deposit.
Price of a two month visa?
AED 650 single or AED 1,000 multiple entry, with the Indian and Filipino tariff at AED 600 and AED 950.
Will immigration ask for proof of funds?
It depends on nationality. Some passports are asked for a six month statement, and a UAE based family member can submit theirs instead. Immigration may also ask arriving travellers for proof of funds, so carry a card or cash. Message us on WhatsApp and we will confirm the rule for Namibia passports.
Can I extend a Dubai visa without leaving the UAE?
It can be extended in country: three times for a 30 day visa, twice for a 60 day visa, 30 days each, with a 120 day ceiling. After that, exit and re enter on a new visa.
What happens if I overstay by a day?
None. The AED 50 daily fine starts the day after the visa expires, with an exit permit of around AED 250 to 300 added after 30 days of overstay.
Is the visa fee refundable if my application is rejected?
No refund applies on refusal, since immigration retains the processing charge. You can apply again once the problem is addressed.
Is there a visa for minors?
Certainly. Every child is issued a separate visa at the same rate, and a birth certificate is required in addition to the passport and photo.
Is working permitted?
Employment is not allowed on a tourist visa. Job seekers can meet employers, but a work permit and residence visa are required before starting work.
