Education in Namibia for Philippines citizenship

A Namibian study permit and visa are required for all international students before entering Namibia.

Important information

It is not permitted to enter Namibia on a tourist visa in the hope of later applying for a Namibian study permit and visa.

Also, visas and permits are not interchangeable, so even if you are already in Namibia on a visa or permit (other than a permanent residence permit), you still need to apply for a Namibian study permit and visa.

Where to apply for a study permit and visa to Namibia

The visa application form is available at https://mha.gov.na/ 

All Namibian study permit visa applications must be submitted and be on hands of the prospective student prior to entry into Namibia.

Spouses and dependents

When issuing a Namibian study permit and visa, the immigration officer may also allow the permit holder's spouse and dependents to accompany and reside in Namibia with them.

Namibia study permit and visa restrictions

The holder of a Namibian study permit and visa cannot engage in employment unless there is a condition in the Namibian study permit and visa that relates to such employment.
