What to know

  • Open round the clock since 1 April 2023. The Immigration Department's list says it does not close. The Namibia Tourism Board and Drive South Africa still show the old 07:00 to midnight.
  • The Trans-Kalahari crossing between Ghanzi and Windhoek, and the only Botswana land border that never shuts.
  • BURS has been talking to Namibia about making it a one-stop post.
  • Foreign-registered cars pay a road permit, the road safety levy and third-party insurance at the customs counter on the way in. Drive South Africa (June 2026) puts the three at about P200 for a car, and we could not find an official BURS tariff to check that against. Carry pula as well as a card.

Bring with you

  • Your passport
  • The vehicle's registration papers
  • For a hired car, the rental company's letter of authority to take it across
  • Whatever Namibia asks of your passport: visa, fees and the papers it wants to see
