Permanent Residence
Long-term residency for those building a future in Namibia.
What Is Permanent Residence?
Permanent Residence grants a foreign national the right to reside in Namibia on a long-term basis without the need for frequent visa renewals. It is ideal for investors, retirees, professionals, long-term employees and individuals with strong ties to Namibia. NAMVISA guides you through the complex and highly regulated Permanent Residence process from start to finish.
Who Can Apply?
You may qualify if you are a long-term resident who has legally lived in Namibia for several years, an investor or business owner with established operations in Namibia, a retiree with sufficient income or pension, a spouse of a Namibian citizen or permanent resident, a dependent of a permanent resident, or a professional of economic value to Namibia. Each application is assessed on merit, compliance history and national interest.
