Dear Mr./ Ms.,
I am from Norway and travelling to Kasane in Botswana for meetings 7-9 October. I contacted the support team for Evisa, and was given the advice to contact the nearest embassy to confirm if I need a visa since I am travelling on an official passport. Please see the correspondence below for more information. Could you please confirm if I can travel visa free to Botswana for these meetings?
Sincerly,
Jonas Weltan

Dear Jonas Volden Weltan,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding your upcoming travel to Kasane, Botswana.
We would like to confirm that Norwegian nationals do not require a visa for short stays in Botswana. However, since you will be traveling on an official diplomatic passport, we recommend that you confirm this requirement with the nearest Botswana embassy or consulate to ensure there are no additional formalities specific to diplomatic or official passport holders.
You can find the contact details of Botswana embassies and consulates here:

We trust this will help you prepare for your upcoming visit, and we wish you a successful meeting in Kasane.
Best Regards,
Support Team

Enquiry Reason: Question regarding the need for visa
Message : Dear Mr. / Ms., I work at the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and will represent Norway at the second replenishment meeting for the 9th replenishment of the Global Environment Facility, which is scheduled to take place in Kasane, Botswana 7-9 October. I see from you website that citizens from Norway do not need visa to enter Botswana. I will travel on my official diplomatic passport, and stay for a total of one week in Kasane. Do I need to apply for a visa since I am attending meetings in Kasane, or can I still travel without a visa on my diplomatic passport? Thank you for your kind assistance. Sincerely, Jonas Volden Weltan
