Overview

Botswana is listed in the Visa Atlas directory with stable ISO codes BW/BWA, capital Gaborone. This directory covers 196 countries: the 193 United Nations member states plus the Holy See, the State of Palestine and Kosovo. That is a chosen editorial scope, not a universally accepted count — recognition and membership differ between organisations and governments, and listing a place here implies no political position.

Official resources

A working link is not proof of official status, and a reachable page is not expert review. Confirm every rule on the government site itself before you travel.

Official guidance

Source checked

This is the official page Visa Atlas opened for Botswana. It is the authority for visa categories, requirements, fees and processing times — those are not restated here unless an official schedule has been recorded field by field.
