NAMIBIA has exempted nationals of certain countries from visa requirements when traveling into the country.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the tenth Cabinet Decision making meeting, information minister, Stanley Simataa, stated that Namibia issue visas to foreign nationals upon arrival at the Hosea Kutako International Airport and eliminate hassles for foreign nationals who wish to enter Namibia but had a difficult time doing so due to beaurocratic red tape.<\/p>\n

He added that this move will also bring Namibia closer to the dream of \u2018One Africa\u2019, where trade and movement of people within the region is unhindered.<\/p>\n

Holders of diplomatic and official passports from the following countries will be allowed entry into the country without visas: Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cabo Verde, Cameroon, Central Africa Republic (CAR), Chad, Comoros, Cote d\u2019Ivoire, Djibouti, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, The Gambia, Guinea, Liberia, Madagascar, Mauritania, Niger, Rwanda, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda and Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic.<\/p>\n
