Overview

Namibia does not currently have a specific "Retiree Residence Permit" that functions as a temporary residence visa. Retirees typically pursue Permanent Residence if they meet the high-net-worth and investment criteria.

Namibia does not offer a specific temporary retirement visa, instead directing retirees toward the Permanent Residence pathway. This route requires significant financial investment in the country and is intended for those who are fully retired and not seeking employment. It provides a permanent status that does not require renewal.
