Namibia will issue visas on arrival from April 1 for international investors and tourists, as part of a strategy to attract foreign capital.

The initiative seeks to reduce bureaucratic hurdles and position the southern African nation as a regional hub for business and leisure travelers, Namibia Investment Promotion Development Board Chief Executive Officer Nangula Uaandja said in Windhoek, the capital, Monday. The policy “represents a strategic shift in our approach to global engagement and economic development,” she said.
