Watch out for
Do not pay anyone for an express or emergency eVisa: the Government of India does not authorise agents or intermediaries for these or for the eArrival card. [1] [2]
There is no visa on arrival for Namibian passport holders, so obtain your eVisa before you travel. [2]
The eArrival Card must be submitted within 72 hours before arrival, and submitting it does not replace a visa. [5]
