(Posted 02nd June 2021)

Airlink, the independent Southern African regional airline, advises travellers to Namibia that new restrictions have been introduced, which may affect their travel plans.

With effect from 01st of June 2021, all travellers entering Namibia must produce a negative SARS COVID-19 PCR test result (valid for 7 days from the date of collection).

Travellers are also required to complete a Travel Health Questionnaire and present it upon arrival, where they will also be screened. The Traveller Health Questionnaire form is available on www.flyairlink.com on the Plan Your Travel – COVID-19 Travel Update page.
