Please help me to immigrate to Namibia.

Before deciding to immigrate it would be wise to see if there is work available in Namibia and if you can get a visa or work permit.

You could contact the Namibian authorities for the information.
A Google search should give you contact details. Also try a Namibian Embassy in SA.

Hi,
I am Namibian from birth, and lived and worked there for 30 years, before moving to the UK. I have since got married and have 2 children.
I would like to return to Namibia, and need advice into how to get back my citizenship, jobs, housing etc. And the most important thing, the move.
I have studied and am qualified Nature Conservation Officer in Namibia, and am currently a Project Manager in the construction of multi megawatt solar power plants.
If there is somebody out there with info, to point me into the right direction, that would be grateful.
Werner

Hi There,
I live with my family in Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, South Africa.
I work as a Transport Manager for a vehicle transport company and my wife is an administrator at a private school. We want to emigrate to Namibia with our three kids.
I would like to know if someone can guide us through the process of getting the right documentation in otder to relocate.
I also think the challenge would be to secure a job, finding housing and schools for the kids.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank You.

Hi everyone.

Same for me and my family, wife and 2 kids. We want to immigrate to Namibia. Wife is a paralegal and I will not be working in Namibia as I am already permanently employed in Brasil . I travel back and forth to work once every 4 weeks, get paid in USD and will effectively be unemployed there. I do have friends living in Namibia whom I have met while on vacation to Namibia who can give references for what it is worth. You can kind off say that I will come there to retire.

Can you please send me the required information to start the process to ****

Hi all. I'm looking into immigrating to Windhoek with my family from Durban  and would appreciate any information as to where and how to start this process.

Good Day All,

I am Geraldine and 24 years old. I really want to immigrate to Namibia Northern Side (Tsumeb, Grootfontein). As I was there on holiday in April 2015 and lost my heart on the land. I want to find a job there and start my adult life (Family and career) there.
Can any of you please help me on how I can go about to immigrate there? Can I apply for a temporary residence then look for work and then get a work permit? (I have accommodation there Close friends) Or should I first get a job then apply for all that?
Is there no way I can get permanent residence in Namibia?
Any assistance would truly be appreciated as I am stuck and really want to immigrate there.
Thanks a million in advance
Geraldine

What would be required from my husband and myself, in order to immigrate to Namibia, we are in our seventies and would like to buy a house in a Retirement Village in Namibia. What are the chances for us to get a permanent residence permit. Should we buy the house first or rather wait and see is we can get a residence permit first. We are retired and self supporting and able to invest money in Namibia. We are South African Citizens.

Hi Lucille

Did you guys move to Namibia and where did you get all the relevant information regarding customs with cars and furniture etc?

Hi Everyone.

I'm a Englishman that can run his business from home or anywhere, as it's largely internet related. I'm going to marry a Namibian woman next year and we'd obviously like to live together in Windhoek all the time. As it stands, I can only see her for 90 days at a time before having to come back to the UK. Does anyone have any advice as to how I can legitimately extend this? I don't have to work in Namibia as such (though she will) as my clients are world-wide and pay me in Sterling in the UK, so I could either run the business from Namibia, or from the UK.
My options are:
1. Marry, become a Namibian and renounce UK citizenship (which I'd rather not do)
2. Get a working visa - but I worry this will only be a short term fix, as I don't have the funds to claim I am setting up a business.
3. Continue to semi-grate, every 90 days leave for a few months and come back again later.
or 4. Emigrate, but keep British Citizenship (my preferred option). Don't know if this is even possible.
General advice please from anyone as to which might be the best option?

Hi all!

We are new here, I am a South African (born and bred) citizen married to a Namibian born South African citizen, could anyone advise what we need to do or where we could start to look into moving to Namibia?

Your advice and help would be much appreciated.

Good Afternoon,

I need some help, my husband wants to apply for citizenship (Myself already have my Nam ID, applying for passport in December).  With his application he must submitted a motivational letter for application and I also need to give a motivational letter for him, what do you write in such a letter?

Hi.
