Frequently asked questions
No. Namibia does not offer visa on arrival for Brunei passport holders. You must obtain a visa from a Namibian embassy or consulate before you travel.
Processing typically takes 2-4 weeks. Apply well in advance — at least a month before your planned departure. Rush service is not always available.
The nearest accredited embassy for Brunei passport holders is the Namibian High Commission in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. You can also apply at the Namibian embassy in Tokyo, Japan. Contact them by email or phone to confirm the application process and fees.
Visa fees vary by embassy and are subject to change. Expect to pay around NAD 1,200–1,800 (approx. BND 100–150). Check with the specific embassy for the exact fee and accepted payment methods.
Extensions are possible but not guaranteed. You must apply at the Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration in Windhoek before your current visa expires. Overstaying can result in fines or deportation.
Yellow fever vaccination is required if you are arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. Brunei is not a risk country, but if you have recently travelled to an affected area, you'll need to show a yellow fever certificate.
You will be denied entry and placed on the next flight back to your point of origin. There is no way to obtain a visa at the airport. Always have your visa approved before flying.
