Government tells foreign students in Namibia to comply with immigration laws on employment

The Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety, and Security has warned foreign students to comply with the Immigration Control Act and not look for jobs and engage in side hustles. The act prohibits any person from entering Namibia to study and subsequently engaging in or performing any work within the country. The ministry’s spokesperson Margaret Kalo says they have set a deadline of 29 February for the submission of student permit applications.
