From 01.04.2025, Austrian citizens, among others, will require a visa in the form of a "Visa on Arrival" to enter Namibia

The visa for Namibia is a "Visa on Arrival" and can either be obtained on arrival directly at the border crossing or the application for the "Visa on Arrival" can be applied for and paid for in advance in the form of an electronic pre-registration (electronic visa). If you want to carry out the electronic pre-registration, start the order in the ÖVKG system.

The existing application for reporting short stays will no longer be available as of March 14, 2025.

From March 17, 2025, notifications must be made exclusively via the EasyGov portal.

The ÖVKG can continue to report its customers. A UID number and activation are required. Your ÖVKG contact person will be happy to help you coordinate the necessary steps.

For postings to Switzerland that are already planned, it is recommended that the declarations be ordered in the ÖVKG portal by March 13, 2025 so that they can still be carried out in the previous system.
