Question about entry to Namibia and South Africa for US passport holders
 
Am I correct in my understanding that <b>no</b> visas are required for US passport holders entering either country? Thanks.

You are correct!

Thank you, MisterAviator!

no visa for Namibia, but you do have to fill out a form at immigration and have your passport stamped.

No pre visa required. This is stamped into your passport on arrival.

For South Africa though, you have to have 2-face-to-face blank pages in your passport. Don't know requirement for Namibia, so check their website.

Thanks, Dennis &amp; Sandi!

Passports also have to be valid for six months after you leave the country.

Thanks, Leann. I've gotten into the habit of renewing my passport prior to the 6 month mark now so that I don't get stuck with a last minute problem.

Just as a note, South Africa has been known to be very strict on requiring at least 2 (or is it 3?) blank pages to be left in the passport. I realize that that is a general requirement but I have not found it to be an issue in many countries but had a friend whose girlfriend was refused entry last year from the UK because she was short of pages.
