🇳🇦Namibia

Namibia is for nomads who crave dramatic, empty landscapes: red dunes, desert coast, and starlit skies, with English as the official language and a calm, safe feel by regional standards. A six-month Digital Nomad Visa lets you base in Windhoek or the seaside town of Swakopmund. Connectivity is decent in main towns but thin elsewhere, and distances are vast, so a vehicle helps.

The Digital Nomad Visa

Namibia's Digital Nomad Visa permits a six-month stay for remote workers earning from foreign sources, with proof of around $2,000/month income, valid passport, and health insurance. It's a relatively simple, affordable application aimed at attracting remote workers. You cannot take local employment, and the visa is not currently long-term renewable beyond the initial period.
