E-Visa to Botswana

Botswana is a beautiful African country with a rich cultural heritage, diverse wildlife and breathtaking scenery. With its many attractions, it is becoming an increasingly popular destination for tourists from all over the world.

To facilitate travel and promote tourism, Botswana introduced the eVisa system in 2021, which allows foreign nationals to obtain travel permits online.

Overall, the Botswana eVisa online processing system for up to 90 days has made travel to Botswana more convenient and accessible to visitors from around the world.

The difference between an e-visa and visa-free entry into Botswana:

Electronic visa

It is required for citizens of certain countries and allows you to stay in Botswana for up to 90 days. It must be applied for in advance online.
Involves completing an online application form, paying a fee and receiving the permit by email.
Authorizes single or multiple entries as per the terms and conditions.
Easy to apply online in advance.

Visa-free entry

Provided to citizens of other countries stipulated in the visa-free agreement. They do not need a visa.
A passport with a validity of at least 6 months is sufficient. No formalities are required.
Permits a stay of up to 90 days for 6 months or 1 year.
Visa-free entry does not require preparation.
