The official licensing authority in Namibia is the Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia. The The Namibian Comunications Commission appears to have been replaced in 2009.
The CRAN web site is awful and I can’t find anything on it. Instead, I searched for sites linking or mentioning cran.na and found the Namibian Amateur Radio Centre saying:
Guest Licences for Radio Amateurs visiting Namibia
In Namibia, there is only one application form which applies for all
kinds of spectrum users (from Commercial Broadcasting Service up to
Citizen Band Service). This may seem unusual, but has been officially
implemented by CRAN and thus has to be used also when applying for a
guest licence.
The site provides a link with an application form.
You must attach a copy of your home licence and pay 60N$ (approx USD$4)
The cheapest way of paying your guest licence is in cash after your
arrival in Namibia at the office of CRAN. Then your licence will be
handed out directly to you. CRAN can send the licence to your contact
person’s P.O.Box in Namibia if you pay in advance via the expensive
electronic banking or via your local contact person. The issued guest
licence is valid for the complete calendar year.
I would recommend that you attempt to contact the site owners if you require further information.
