The U.S. Embassy in Windhoek will no longer issue visas from 1 August. 

Applicants looking to travel to the United States will now have to travel to South Africa, either Johannesburg or Cape Town, for visa services.

Minister of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security Lucia Iipumbu has advised Namibians in South Africa to remain calm and stay indoors during the ongoing protests, as the situation is being monitored by the embassy.
