I like the swift response and professional conduct of the customer support team.
It is one of a company I like to contnue cooperate with in future
1 star as they didn’t really process the visa No confirmation if the application been submitted or anything we had been waiting for 3 weeks since we’ve submitted the application no answers, weeks passed and were getting close on the dates of our departure and needed the visa so we had to take matters into our hands and went to the Zimbabwe Embassy on our own and begged them to help us to process the visa and honestly without their help I don’t think Ivisa will actually get the visa for us.
Your service is trustworthy and reliable and the communication feedback with the customer service is fast. I will always use your service because of the satisfaction it comes with.
Good company to work. Communicated well and ensured appropriate documents was provided which enable visa approval. I will recommend them
It is an excellent performance though rigorous and thanks for ensuring it delvers before my travel date. Thanks, Prisca.
Got my Zimbabwe eVisa letter after 7 days instead of 4 business days (as I purchase the RUSH service). I was relieved to see it at last, but also a little disappointed since it made me miss my expected timeline to apply for a South African multiple entry visa. IVisa staff was responsive.
I am happy overall as my visa was processed successfully on time. I could not rate 5 stars as there were issues with the review of my visa application - I suggest that iVisa reviews complete application along with all supporting documents and provides one feedback to the client instead of several separate emails for different sections of the application.
Apologies for late review, I wanted to thank you for helping me to get my Zimbabwe e-Visa. It was ease of mind to have your company.
Super service! I’ll definitely recommend to friends and will use this service again in the future!!
Zimbabwe visa FAQs
Quick answers to the most common questions about the Zimbabwe eVisa.
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do I need a visa for Zimbabwe?
Nationalities are divided into three categories. Category A (mostly SADC countries) is visa-exempt. Category B (including US, UK, EU, Canada, and Australia) can obtain a visa on arrival or apply for an eVisa. Category C must obtain an eVisa before departure. We recommend Category B travelers apply for an eVisa in advance to avoid long queues at the border.
What is the KAZA UniVisa?
The KAZA UniVisa is a special joint visa that allows you to visit both Zimbabwe and Zambia multiple times within a 30-day period. It is also valid for day trips into Botswana via the Kazungula border. It is available online and at major airports like Harare and Victoria Falls.
How will I receive the Zimbabwe eVisa?
You will receive a Letter of Authority as a PDF via email. Unlike some other eVisas, you must print a physical copy of this letter. Digital copies on phones are often rejected by immigration officers. If you applied through iVisa, you'll also find a copy of your PDF in your dashboard.
Do I need a visa for a layover in Zimbabwe?
If you remain in the airport transit area, you do not need a visa. If you are transiting overland (e.g., driving from South Africa to Zambia) or if your layover is long and you wish to stay at a hotel outside the airport, you must obtain a Transit eVisa.
How long can I stay in Zimbabwe?
Standard tourist eVisas are usually issued for a stay of up to 30 days. While the initial entry is often capped at 30 days, visitors can generally stay for a total of 90 days within a 6-month period if they apply for extensions locally.
Can I extend my stay in Zimbabwe?
Yes. If you wish to stay longer than your initial 30 days, you must visit the Department of Immigration in person (offices are located in major cities like Harare or Bulawayo) to apply for an extension before your current stay expires.
What is the processing time for the Zimbabwe eVisa?
The Zimbabwean government typically processes applications within 3 to 7 working days. With iVisa, you choose your processing speed at checkout, and the option you pick is shown with its delivery time before you pay.
Do children/minors need a Zimbabwe eVisa?
Yes. Every traveler, regardless of age, must have their own approved visa. For minors, you may be required to provide a birth certificate and a letter of consent if they are traveling with only one parent or a legal guardian. You can use iVisa's "Add another person" feature to manage the entire family's applications in one go.
What happens if my Zimbabwe eVisa application is rejected?
The most common reasons for rejection are blurry passport scans or incorrect personal information that doesn't match the passport. If your application is rejected, iVisa can help you identify the specific issue and assist with a re-application.
