Botswana eVisa

What Is the Botswana eVisa?

The Botswana eVisa is an electronic travel authorisation issued to eligible foreign nationals before arrival. It permits entry into Botswana for approved visit purposes, and the entire process is completed online.

Once approved, the eVisa is delivered directly to your registered email address. You do not need to visit an embassy or consulate to apply.

Botswana offers multiple eVisa categories to match your purpose of travel. Select the one that applies to your visit:

Each category is available in single-entry and multiple-entry options with different validity periods.
