Short-Term Employment Visa
Work legally in Namibia for short assignments, projects, training and consultancy.
What Is a Short-Term Employment Visa?
The Short-Term Employment Visa allows foreign nationals to work in Namibia for up to 3 or 6 months depending on the employer's needs. It is not a work permit — it is a temporary work authorization issued for specific assignments. NAMVISA makes the entire process easy, fast and fully compliant with Namibian immigration laws.
Who Can Apply?
You must apply if you are coming to Namibia to conduct training or workshops, complete a short project for a Namibian organization, install or maintain technical equipment, provide consulting or advisory services, assist with setup or commissioning of machinery, or undertake company audits, inspections or field work.
