What the Namibia visa rules mean for Barbados travellers

Barbados passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Namibia for stays of up to 90 days. There is nothing to apply for in advance — the visa is issued at the airport or land border after you pay the fee. Bring cash in a major currency, a passport valid for at least six months, a return ticket and the address of your first night's accommodation, and expect a queue at busy airports.

The main option is the Holiday visa on arrival — non-African Union members, which costs 1,600 NAD. Namibia also offers Holiday e-visa — non-African Union members — see the visa options above.
