Namibia Changes Their Visa Policy (As of April 1st)

By

 Interesting: 

Starting today, Namibia is reviewing its visa-free entry agreements with several countries deemed “non-reciprocal.” In short, these are nationalities whose citizens could previously enter Namibia freely, while Namibians were required to complete visa formalities to travel to these countries.

April 1, 2025, therefore marks a turning point. For reasons of diplomatic reciprocity and sovereignty, the Namibian government now requires visas for citizens of 33 countries, including the US, Canada, Japan, Australia, UK, and France.

Aware of the implications of this decision for tourism, Namibia is supporting this reform with a modernization of its visa system. Since March 3, 2025, travelers can apply via a brand new e-Visa platform.

Namibian authorities announce that they have approved more than 10,000 e-Visas since the service was launched.

The process is entirely paperless on the eservices.mhaiss.gov.na portal: account creation, online form, uploading of ID photo and passport, and payment of the visa fee. Processing takes just a few minutes or hours, with an email notification once authorization is granted.

This new system is aimed at both tourists and business travelers, and 90 nationalities can use this electronic visa service. The stated objective is to reduce processing times, simplify procedures, and offer a seamless alternative to the regular consular visa, particularly for countries without Namibian diplomatic representation.


FWIW: Namibia is on The Trump Tariff List (for 21%).

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
