== Getting in Border crossing ==
When coming from [[Botswana]] or [[South Africa]] border procedures are generally quick and painless. If you arrive from [[Zambia]] or [[Angola]] they might check you more cautiously though.
In general most nationalities are allowed a 90 day visa to the country upon arrival to any landborder but bear in mind that at some border (such as the border with South Africa close to [[Upington]]) they will actually ask you for how long you intend to stay in Namibia and then give you a visa valid for the number of days you request. Just say your intending to stay for longer than your actually intending to stay so you have the opportunity to prolong your stay if you would like to later.
Generally a lot of the traffic at the border is heading to [[Windhoek]] or past [[Windhoek]] en-route to the un-official unofficial German colony of [[Swakupmund]] so you are likely to get a long and direct lift from the border.
Bear in mind that some borders (as the one from [[Upington]], [[South Africa]] for example) is not crossable by foot as there is a 15 kilometer stretch of no mans land. If your driver doesn't want to be in the car for the customs (sine they're afraid that you might be smuggling something) your best bet is to clear the customs by yourself and then wait on the other side for your driver. Get a ride to the other border control and repeat the procedure. === South Africa === * [[Vioolsdrif border crossing]]
