  "account": "Namibia plans to implement a new five-year permit for foreign investors and business owners, effective September 1, 2026. The Employment Permit to Conduct Business, issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security, offers a longer-term option compared to the current Investor Permit, which is typically valid for up to two years. Applications must be submitted manually to the Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board (NIPDB), which will assess the proposed investment and its economic impact before referring eligible applications to the Immigration Selection Board for a final decision.
