The Namibian government has not informed of any changes to visa requirements for Finnish citizens travelling to Namibia. The Embassy of Finland in Windhoek will issue visas also to those travelling to Sweden, Norway and Island from Namibia. Please feel free to contact the Embassy of Finland for any further information needed. Most visits to Namibia are trouble free. However, precautions should be taken, as in many countries, regarding street thefts and also particularly thefts from a parked vehicle and from vehicles at service stations.
Problems occurs also when travelling alone, at odd hours of the day, or in isolated places.
The Caprivi and Kavango areas bordering Angola are not safe, due to the war in neighbouring Angola. Visitors are therefore strongly advised not to travel between Katima Mulilo and Rundu nor use the main tar road B8, the Trans Caprivi highway. Security risks have increased along the whole Namibian-Angolan border. It is not possible to foresee where attacks along the frontier may occur. It is thus advisable that visitors avoid travelling along the border.
