ENTRY/EXIT VISA REQUIREMENTS CHOBE/BOTSWANA

All nationals of foreign countries, except those from countries which have reached a visa abolition agreement with Botswana, require a visa for entering Botswana.
 
Nationals not requiring visas:

No visa is required for visits of up to 90 days. Most European countries, member of the Commonwealth and the USA do not require Botswana travel visas. Travellers are required to have an onward ticket and provide evidence of sufficient funds to support themselves for the duration of their visit.

Any visitor - whether visa exempted or not that wishes to stay more than 90 days should apply for prior permission for the extended period to the Chief Immigration Office in Gabarone. No visitor is allowed to work or seek employment in Botswana.

One should first however, check if there is a Botswana Consulate in your country of residence. This will make the process of applying for a visa a lot simpler.
