Visa Requirements for the Botswana Tour

Indian tourists planning to explore Botswana must obtain a tourist visa in advance, as there is no provision for on-arrival visas for Indian passport holders. Botswana offers two types of tourist visas: the Single-Entry Visa and the Multiple-Entry Visa. The Single-Entry Visa allows a stay of up to 30 consecutive days, while the Multiple-Entry Visa permits multiple visits within 90 days.

For the convenience of Indian citizens, Botswana provides an e-Visa option, with a processing time usually taking around 7 working days. The fees for the Botswana e-Visa are approximately INR 1,840.46 (around 300 Botswana Pula) for a single-entry visa and INR 3,068 (about 500 Botswana Pula) for a multiple-entry visa.

To complete the visa application process, Indian citizens must submit the necessary documents, including a valid passport with a minimum of 2 blank pages for stamps, an active email address, and a cover letter explaining the purpose of their visit to the country. The visa application can be submitted online or at the Botswana embassy or consulate.

This detailed process ensures that Indian travellers can efficiently plan their visit to Botswana, following the required visa requirements and procedures.
