›Can Dominica passport holders enter Namibia?
Dominica passport holders can enter Namibia via eVisa, which makes the process relatively straightforward. You can obtain your eVisa online before departure, enter Namibia on that basis, and then convert to the digital nomad visa if the program permits in-country applications. The eVisa is typically faster and cheaper than a full consulate appointment.
›Requirements for Dominica passport holders
The Digital Nomad Visa assesses all applicants on the same criteria regardless of nationality. Dominica citizens can apply provided they meet the following requirements:
- Income: $2,000/month — proven via 3–6 months bank statements
- Remote work proof: Employment contract, freelance agreements, or client letters confirming you work for non-Namibia entities
- Health insurance: Valid international health and travel insurance required
- Clean background: Police clearance from Dominica (apostilled if required by Namibia)
- Valid passport: Dominica passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay
- Accommodation proof: Rental agreement, hotel booking, or property documents in Namibia
Important: Documents not in Namibia's official language or English must be certified translated. Dominica applicants should confirm apostille requirements for documents issued in Dominica.
›How Dominica citizens apply — step by step
- Gather documentation. Collect 3–6 months of bank statements showing consistent income above the threshold, employment contracts or freelance agreements, valid Dominica passport (6+ months validity), international health insurance certificate, and a police clearance certificate.
- Authenticate documents. Check whether Namibia requires apostille stamps on Dominica-issued documents. Arrange certified translations for any documents not in the local language or English. This step can take 2–6 weeks — start early.
- Check entry requirements. Verify whether Dominica citizens can enter Namibia visa-free or need a short-stay visa before applying for the digital nomad visa. Check the Namibia embassy website for current entry requirements for Dominica passport holders.
- Submit your application. Apply through the official Namibia government portal. Some programs accept online applications; others require in-person submission at a consulate.
- Await approval and enter. Once approved, book travel and confirm your health insurance is active from day one. Register with local immigration if required within the first 30 days of arrival in Namibia.
›Tax treatment for Dominica digital nomad visa holders
Foreign-sourced income generally not taxed in Namibia
Always consult a tax professional who understands both Dominica and Namibia tax law before committing to an extended stay.
›Common mistakes Dominica applicants make
Weak or inconsistent income documentation
Depositing a lump sum right before applying won't work. Namibia immigration officials want to see consistent income above the threshold over 3–6 months. Sporadic freelance payments or transfers from family members don't qualify. Start maintaining clean financial records as early as possible.
Missing apostille or translation requirements
Dominica applicants often underestimate authentication requirements. Dominica-issued documents — including bank letters, employment contracts, and police certificates — may need apostille stamps and certified translations. This process can take weeks. Budget for it early.
Not confirming entry eligibility before booking travel
Dominica passport holders may need a short-stay visa to enter Namibia before their digital nomad visa is approved. Confirm entry requirements with the Namibia embassy before booking any flights. Entry eligibility and DNV eligibility are separate questions.
