What are the Visa and Passport Requirements?All foreign visitors to Botswana must be in possession of a passport that is valid for at least 6 months, with the exception of those with outgoing travel documents and sufficient funds for the duration of their stay.
Valid entry visas for the countries that require them can be obtained from the various Botswana embassies and high commissions abroad. In the countries without Botswana embassies, visas may be obtained from the British High Commission.
Entry visas obtained from the border posts are valid for a maximum of 30-90 days. Extensions may be obtained from any migration office in Botswana. No visitor to Botswana is allowed to stay for longer than 90 days a year, unless special permission is given in the form of a waiver pending the outcome of a residence permit application. |
