The Namibian government has resolved to introduce entry visa requirements for countries that have not reciprocated its visa exemption gestures.
Citizens from over 30 countries will no longer enjoy visa-free access to Namibia if their nations fail to reciprocate visa exemption agreements.
The proposal, submitted by the Minister of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security, has been approved by the Cabinet recently.
According to data from the Namibia Tourism Board and various embassies, this decision could affect around 31 countries.
I'm a Namibian and I'm happy with this decision.
🇳🇦🇳🇦 I would do the same if I was the president.
It's not the president who decides....its government.
Me and u

All major government decisions are made by lawful entities in cosultation with the presidential office. So, is on that note I refer to the president.
Thank you so much for your input but I'm well acquainted with the GRN oparations.
@@DonaldNyathi-k9e 🙄 really that was not necessary...
The government should also consider removing visa requirements for our fellow Africans, not only those listed or targeted ones.
If the government requires that on Africans, then it must at least be lightened and not a burden or a burrier to trade within the continent. I never travel across the continent but I hear people complain in other countries about the cost and lot of nonsens security.
Not forgetting the so called "RED LINE" which is avoiding people not to do business within the country, while our animals are immunized each year if I am not mistaken. Let our people trade free within their countries and also within our continent. Can our old leaders learn to trust each other and do trade free. I wish I was in the cabinet too and throw my idea. Anyway, I know there are some out there who reason this way.
Much love from your fellow Namibian 🇳🇦
Yes, I live in UK and English people increase visa fees for other countries but they go everywhere without paying visa. Bravo Namibia 🇳🇦
😂😂😂 yea but the difference is people from the UK return home, unlike people from Africa or the ME
Is Namibia right to revoke visa exemptions to 31 countries that don't extend the same courtesy? YES, YES , YES, YES. Bout time, RESPECT!! ❤
Very sad. As an african American i was looking forward to visiting next yr now i cant go
@@gibson2675You'll have to get a visa. No more visa exemptions
@@gibson2675of course you can go, brother. Visas are fairly easy to get and pretty cheap with the exchange rate. It’s absolutely normal for countries to have visa regulations. A tourist visa is usually valid for about 3 months.
@@gibson2675Lol.. Really? Why not?
I think Namibia 🇳🇦 played childish here. Just because your people they overstayed when they go to overseas 😂 well cripple economy will make you think again 🤔
Excellent I am fully with you Namibia
Good move for Namibia 🇳🇦 this's called security and respect.
I do respect there decision making for Namibia🇳🇦🇿🇲....
Could this be that Namibia has recently discovered 10 billion barrels of oil and they want to protect themselves from exploitation thinking ahead.etc.
@@winstynglyn6893 But how would tourist affect that?
Thank you, Namibia 🇳🇦 for making Africa proud 👏
They could do whatever they want to do, it's their country. This is why Africa needs to be united. Africa unity is the only saving grace for Africa. With 54 countries coming together or even 45 if NOT all 54, we will be a force to reckoned. We don't need to look nowhere else.
We in Namibia prefer to visit Russia. Who cares about the west
Exactly. Corruption in Africa was in the best interest of the West. Why would they encourage Africans to work together and use their own resources to uplift themselves? 😂😂😂 So we Africans must also make it easier for Africans to visit Africa. A European and American passport should not have more access to Africa than African passports.
It will never be 54. Will not be 45 either. The only regions with the prospects of a federal or unitary state is EAC; minus Congo.
Other regions, such as ECOWAS are headed in the opposite direction.
They are experiencing balkanization, with countries choosing to exit the regional bloc.. Such as what is taking place with the Sahel Alliance and their emancipation initiatives.
Ultimately, it will be up to the respective populations themselves to determine how they choose to move forward. All 54 of them.
Some may choose to cede their nationhood sovereignty and republics to merge into a new entity. Some will not.
Their decisions will be respected..
As an American I agree but it’s easier said than done. Western European nations are rather wealthy individually compared to the rest of the world but not compared to the USA. Europe knew as individual economies that the US could throw its weight around and would offer these countries bad deals all day! Hence they formed the EU, and instantly they became an economic equal. The Europeans are pretty wise and still struggle with such a union. U have a Brexit and countries like Germany feeling like they are doing all the heavy lifting whilst the Greeks sit at the beach. A Union like Europe won’t work for Africa. Africa has too many incompetent and corrupt rulers and Africa is a much more complicated landscape. A federal system like the US has would probably be better but it would still have a lot of the same constraints and would live and die by how competent and incorruptible the leaders are at the federal level. Nothing that I have seen in afro-American or African culture would make me think a unified Africa would work….but on paper it’s what u should do!
@@gibson2675 Lol, we? But they go for health treatment and send their kids to study in the west. Now what are you going to do in Russia, buy Guns? Why not go where you want to go broer and not follow what politicians are telling you?
It's about time. The rest of the continent should follow suit
Yes!
Well said south Africa too.
Love of money countries sold out their birth rights
Perfect decision for Namibia
Yes my brother, I believe that Namibia is absolutely right to impose the visa on those countries who have always been arrogant and discriminate toward the African nations, and I hope other African countries will soon follow the Namibian example, because Namibia has set it up a precedent for the whole African continent to follow. Well-done Namibia
I’m a West African, I support Namibia’s decision. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
You are not a west african
Amen fair is fair
Whatever makes Namibia safer and stronger in terms of international, immigration, and travel policies that's what we should do. This is definitely a right decision.
South Africa needs to do exactly what Namibia has done then those Colonizers will start respecting us
Not with that 🤡 Ramaphosa at the helm. BLK South Africans need to get rid of that f.o.o.l ASAP
Not with the kind of mindset South African people have. A people that voted for a white party, White part came second in their election. Apartheid thought them nothing
I think Namibia is doing the "pilot testing" of this genius idea. If results are good, many other self respecting African countries with sense will also implement same. I hope so.
they cant bro remember that SA is owned by them and listed a company in the stock exchange
@africaisking7817 if people disrespect you, don't waste your life trying to make them respect you, just walk away.
Your country, your rules!
Namibian here 🇳🇦
History has proven that to enact change, one has to resort to tactics that one never utilised before. Do unto others as you'd unto yourself, I'm behind this change, let us see where it takes us.
There is no excuse for these other countries not reciprocating Namibia’s visa free policy. Namibia is doing the right thing: respecting those countries that respect them.
As a namibian i am proud of these decision....wow....thank Jesus.
As an Afro american. They are 100% right... Do unto others as they do unto you.
As a Namibian am glad to hear this. Every house has its own rules. South Africa what are you waiting for?
NAMIBIA IS 100%.CORRECT!!!!
Namibia is doing nice and well
Ur so great at explaining things…
BRAVO BRAVO NAMIBIA...THE HOLY LAND IS AFRICA...PARADISE....NOW WE KNOW THE TRUTH....
Its true why Namibia is called "LAND OF THE BRAVE" ☺😍 very brave
Probably more foolish, but foolishness is not lost on Africa.
@@CarsNamibia i salute 🫡 🇳🇦
@@martin4819 why the anger?
@@ngutjiuangutuazeratueutjiu7691 No anger. I’m rooting for Africa but this move isn’t going to hurt the West but it will likely hurt Tourism in Namibia as most Western countries have 186 other countries they can travel Visa free to. Also, the West isn’t punishing African countries by requiring them to get a visa to enter. The added scrutiny is needed to make sure people aren’t entering Western countries to work or over extend their stay….which happens all of the time. It’s just another case of an African leader doing nothing while making it look like they are doing something. Africa has so many other more important things it needs to work on other than weaponizing visas. I mean outside of a handful of African countries an African can travel to most of the rest of Africa without a visa. Probably would make more sense to first address this? Also u know these leaders are just going to pocket this visa money anyways.
Namibia is developing an Oil/Gas industry and expanding its mining industries. The hospitality industry is important to Namibia, but dignity and self-respect are also important.
I respect you man. You told a naked truth about West African Men. Their mindset and using other countries in Africa to go abroad. Well said!
I support namibia. South Africa and all African countries must do this
yes
BYE! No more "fleecing" nor the "privilege" for you folk any more!
How many wokes visit Namibia lol
@@gibson2675 lots of whites, African Americans we never expect anything from them anyways
Namibia did them good ,we need to adopt that in South Africa, to return the favor
I'm an African American, and I agree ..but hopefully in the future we will be allowed as kidnapped, war causities to return without visa..because we didn't leave with passports or visas. We are truly governed by barbarians ..
being an American African, at least you have right of return and claiming citizenship to Ghana
Ghana is giving some of them hard times@@yeherzkel
@yeherzkel why mention only ghana? They should be able to access the whole continent
Visas are done based on what you claim through your passport.
If there is a restriction on a Afrikan passport that same restriction would be directed by that Afrikan country to the US passport holder.
Which is why folks even bother to get their dual citizenship. Or find a spouse.
It bypasses that restriction. Otherwise closing the door the the US with regards to visas includes AA folks holding US passport.
@@flavorsofthecontinent7195the continent is 54 sovereign countries. Each has their own policies with regards to entry requirements to their country.
There is no one policy that could be applicable across the continent.
Namibia , Good news, they ought to pay to visit.
Brother big up one love one respect
Africa we will rise ❤ Blessings my Brothers & Sisters
Yes, they're right!
Namibia discovered huge reserves of oil off their coast a few months back. They don't need to relied on tourism heavily like before.
It was discovered in the 1960s already. That explains the history.
As a Zambian i agree with the president of Namibia.
Lot less tourist. Be like Zimbabwe. Eat Berries. Don't invest in Namibia..
@@KevinTravis-kw1rr how many African goes to UK, USA, Asia for tourism?
@@s_africanchannel4810 many. Africa needs tourist. Hotels. Arts and crafts. support if tourism. Even Soweto in Joburg plenty white tourist.
The truth is that the term tourist doesn't mean white.The problem is that the Berlin conference sank too deep in African leaders.If Africa had open borders, good security and defense,tourism within Africa would be very great.
Well done Namibia. Self respect is a must.
Namibia has much bigger problems than visa implementations.. they’re solving the wrong issues !!!
A doctor friend from Africa with his family wanted to travel to Spain last year. When checking on Visas, practically every European and South American country was EXEMPT for a Visa requirement but not African countries. All African countries had to purchase a visa to travel to Spain.
I hope I am the first one to watch the video. I started watching it 9 seconds after you uploaded it.
I am glad our leaders finally woke up!!!Bravo Namibia 🇳🇦
Yes this is how it should be...hope all of the Continent gets on code w/this! #Namibia!

⚫️ 🖤♟️🏴
If you want to come to America or any other countries. Visiting European countries you need a visa. Namibia President has the to make that decision.
Go bk to school😂
I am a proud Namibian 🇳🇦🇳🇦❤....
Much respect to Namibian ❤
Absolutely! Namibia did the right thing. Let those stuck up countries also go through hoops to tour Namibia. Out of every Namibian who travels to those other countries to seek asylum, there are thousands who are genuine tourists but get denied or made to present tons of paperwork.
Right direction, I love it... Drizzle drizzle. No one is above anyone here in this world.. we don't take n*nsense this time....
I like your response, drizzle drizzle. No one is above the law and no country is a super power neither can they dominate this planet... drizzle drizzle
Absolutely 💯!
Drizzle Drizzle
We are proud of you President Nangolo Mbumba
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Meanwhile, Batswana still cross the border into Namibia using an ID. Namibians also come to Botswana using an ID. Easy as you like.
As a Namibian I am proud of our decision
Good move Namibia treat them how they treat you from 🇧🇿 Belize.
Decision taken but not implemented yet. Tourists are still visa free until today. Very few Americans visit Namibia. Most tourists are from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. However as a namibian I do not agree with that decision on economic grounds coz most SADC countries are visa free to tourists and investors. Tourists come here to spend money not seek asylum or grab our jobs. We africans go to seek asylum in those countries. That's the reason they require visa from us. We ran away from poverty and bad governance. Instead of blaming West, we must blame ourselves for failing to look after our people.
Africa has been exploited for all the years by the west so it's gonna take another few years to come right and supported by its genuine government that wants the best for its people
Well said! Individuals need to take accountability and responsibility towards addressing and fixing the problems of their countries.
Man, what is the problem with getting a visa; the country is not a train station. And because of tourism you just want to let anybody in without even a minimum of control! Plus it'll bring some money in, at least to take care of the airport expenses. So please, do not be an Uncle Tom always afraid of your shadow and instead always counting on others, do for yourself or deal with people that respect you and treat you as equal (in this case equal = human being).
Pride and dignity comes first 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Why aren't European countries worried about hurting their tourism when they place strict visa requirements upon Africans? The problem with you Africans is that you are so weak minded. You are willing to embarrass yourselves for economic reasons. Develop some self esteem first and foremost. You are not inferior to Europeans. If a Namibian requires a visa to travel to Europe then they should also require a visa to travel to Namibia
I am with Namibia from East Africa Tanzania
Good for Namibia! I just came to Namibia last week for a month and had no issue. I am from the USA. It's beautiful here, clean, safe, and friendly people.
If Namibians are required to have a visa to enter those countries listed, it is right for them to require the same. ❤
Thanks for understanding. Easy.
You’re not smart
They are doing the right thing.
Zack,
Was Namibia Right you ask ?
The question you should have asked is this. How could Namibia have allowed that kind of a one sided deal, to go on for so long ?
Wake Up Africa !
Smh !
Yes. Namibia is right to revoke visa exemptions.
As Angolan..we should do the same.
Absolutely correct for Namibia
I'm from amerikaa I stand with namibia""" the are doing the right thing ...Demand Respect
Namibia is perfectly right, Africa must unite to embrace this.
This is the best start am very Happy
Romania is one of the poorest country in Europe so it was a surprise it was on the list. NAMIBIA is right to revolt the visa, yes Namibia is known for tourism but who owns the majority of the businesses, is it.not the Europeans? South Africa should also revolt some countries visa too, they are having a problem with many Europeans over staying their visa because they go to there to work .
Namibia did not revoke anyone’s visas. They implemented a law that foreign visitors will require a visa in future.
RE - VO - KE .
The point is not visa revoke .
The point is IMPLEMENTATION of visa .
Isn't Romania a member of the EU bloc of states, with common policy on such things? Just asking.
@@ade008 the EU is not what it seems. There are still counties who use their own currencies. And once they become EU members Euro or no Euro the prices go up but the salaries remain the same and folks become poorer and poorer. The only real "benefit" they have is the right to work in other EU countries and become someone elses cheap labor. White does not equal privilege.
As a Namibian I couldn't be more proud of my country for this decision 🙏 🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦.. and truth be told tourism will not be affected, if they want to see our desert they will surely come no matter what.. it's demand and supply. the local market boosted tourism alone during COVID-19.
Excellent decision. The rest of Africa should follow😊.
We are right, we have a beautiful country and those westerners took our kindness for granted. When it comes to tourism, we will simply adjust.
Yes yes yes absolutely right decision, we are the land of the brave, my country, my pride, salute 🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦
They do the same in Africa 🌍 Europeans 🇪🇺 overstay in South Africa 🇿🇦, Namibia 🇳🇦 is on point 👉 👈 ❤❤❤.
Im happy to hear about the visa restrictions
Yes I think they do right things it's like them who make difficulties we Africans when we want travel to Europe..congratulations to Namibia 🇳🇦
i am a namibia too and this decision is so good cause i think we need more police to go in the nation and see how many immgration people that they even dont have any papers to stay here and i know they are a lot so please we need this thing to stop and those people to go back to they are coutries and even they have land in our coutry while use we dont have ,please MRS President do something
Namibia makes a lot of money on turism, but I think the huge Oil discoveries they are making will give them a financial stability that they have never had. Then, they can play now the same visa game with the colonizers.
I love my country, job well done Namibia 🇳🇦
They are 1000% correct. The should revoke all visa from all the countries that require visas for Namibia 🇳🇦.
Lets gooo namibia 🇳🇦 👍
Good one Namibia 👏👏 Africa to the world ❤ 🌎
We thank you his excellence for the wise decision.may our ANCESTORS and our CREATOR be magnified.
That’s Namibia’s loss. That just means tourist will take their money elsewhere.
Thailand just increased visa exempt nations to increase tourist capital. This helps the country.
Namibia is showing how backwards they are. They should be going in the opposite direction to increase capital.
Use your minds people! Think! Remove your emotions!
We dont need you blood money you hate us how can we loves you if you hate us fwii go
@@mikeilikeit9685 Brotha! I’m a Black American who loves Africa and Africans. I’ve spent an entire year in Namibia. Use your mind not your feelings brother.
How does this hurt a tourist who has money to spend? I can just fly past Namibia and spend thousands of US dollars in Zambia for example.
I could buy a property in South Africa as opposed to Namibia.
You see, this only hurts Namibia and Namibians.
@@mikeilikeit9685 Tourism is a billion dollar industry which fuels the Namibian tourism industry and taxes help develop Namibia.
This only hurts Namibians.
I thought Africa was finally waking up when I saw the revolutions in Burkina etc. However kicking out foreign military powers are very different from kicking out foreign visitors and investors. Instead of waking up it seems we are becoming proud racists. Instead of wanting equality we want revenge. I’m disappointed. Should I be afraid to invite my European friends to visit?
@@ajdaames even you are black from some where or within most black are dumb habaling canball late they killed see all african leaders whose make friend of them ,white monopoly never die so long we loves the but they hste us till when we keep them warm after all they eat us is beter to move with something yes it is hard to divorce but every rightfull living it costly ,they must come with visa
Excellent decision. If those countries Canada and UK they're tired of asylum, they must put a strict screen process. Because it's their laziness bcz for you to approve asylum it requires some points. I salute Namibia
very right. All Africans should follow
Thank you H Dr N Mbumba 👏👏
#🇳🇦
I mean they also do that for us Africans😂😂 Namibia has done justice on behalf of us
Thank you my beloved 🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦 land of the brave 🇳🇦🇳🇦
The majority of the asylum seeker from Namibia in Canada are men from other African countries who came to namibia get married to namibian women for the purpose of getting a namibian passport just for them to be able to travel to Canada and the UK. I don't blame the Canadian and Uk governments for that. When the process is abused such changes kicks in.
Well whatever be the case, this is going to go down as you do me, I do you like you do scenario.
It’s fair.. the Namibians can rather take advantage of Russias visa free alternative option.
World is big…
@@BonsuBigWhaledont be sad. West africans abuse the system in East Africa and Southern Africa, we tired better take step by stoping this rirus
Thats is good news thats all i can say as per now and have loved it , hope other african countries can learn from that.
A BIG SHOUT OUT TO NAMIBIA. ..!!! I APPLAUD THEM...!!!! Does anybody remember the viral video of the young girl applying for a US study visa, only to be denied at the next desk, after paying?
thanks for reoporting on this.. greetings from Namibia. Africa needs to pull in the same direction. Many Namibians that go to seek asylum , well, the same group of young people did that, by going to UK and not return, (because they get to work, earn in a higher currency and come back when they retire).. i agree with those countries for requesting visas, and we do the same. so I guess it is level field now. We also do not want the brain drain, stay here and help your country develop.
Am proud of Namibia ❤ all love from SA🇿🇦❤️
Namibia must audit its immigration department, punish all those who might have corrupted it, show Western countries that they are no longer the source of people who violate visa free access, before they can ask for it to be restored. Namibians by themselves are too few to cause problems anywhere in the world. The likely culprits are the usual suspects from India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Congo, Ethiopia, who go to countries like Namibia, buy passports, hop off to Canada, and declare fake asylum
Correction, they did not say no Americans or anything so discriminatory. That is unethical clickbait.
It's very click bait. THEY ALWAYS USE TO MAKE MONEY, AND LATER SAY "ME NO BLACK".
Visitors from those 31 Countries, just visut as a tourist. THEY DON'T WANT TO STAY THERE. A lot of
Visitors from afric. Countries WILL NOT RETURN TO THEIR HOMECOUNTRY, INSTEAD becoming illigal migrant.
But its up to them.
"they don't want to stay there" - how does this explain the genocidal mentality ? Most of them stayed by the way...
Absolutely to answer your question.
Best decision by namibia. Namibia gave them a chance. I remember a namibian girl paid for american visa but america rejected her a visa and never returned her money back. I support namibia by this
Namibia can do whatever it wants to do, but damn I've always wanted to visit! It's good they revoked it form Germany b/c those Germans think they own Namibia.
It’s easy to get a visa. Folks will still go if they really want to.
Yes Zack iam a Kenyan, Namibia is right Africans should revoke visas for Europe and canada
Well done Namibia, we luv you
❤❤❤❤
Yea-Yeah! Hello all
I have Norwegian passport and I can travel anywhere in Europe and American without no visa. And I can travel to Sweden, Denmark, Finland without no visa or passport!
House cat.
% right! Respect and fair treatment is all we want. Enough is enough!
We are good 🇳🇦 and we have a beautiful country here with everything we need.
That's very good move.
God bless you
