Yes. Before visiting Botswana, Indian nationals must get a visa. A Botswana visa may be obtained at the Botswana Consulate in Mumbai or the Botswana Embassy in New Delhi. In addition, you may apply for a special visa depending on your reason for visiting.

The earliest time to apply for a Botswana visa is one month before the intended travel date. However, all visa applications should be filed ten days before departure to give enough time for processing.

The duration of this visa is up to 90 days. Depending on the reason for your travel and the type of visa you have, the Embassy will determine the validity and stay time. It is available for one, two, or several entries.

The type of entry that is allowed must be thoroughly considered. For example, a single-entry visa only will enable holders to enter and exit Botswana once, but multiple-entry visas allow repeated entries.

Yes, the Embassy will stamp the actual passport with the visa. Therefore, the passport must have two blanks. Additionally, your passport must be current for at least six months after the planned stay.
