Zimbabwe visa policy

Zimbabwe’s visa policy offers several entry options depending on your nationality, reason for travel, and how long you intend to stay. Some nationalities are visa-exempt, while others can get a visa on arrival or must apply in advance through the official Zimbabwe eVisa system.

The eVisa is available to most travelers for tourism, business, study, and transit purposes. It allows for single or multiple entries and is typically valid for up to 90 days per visit. Countries eligible for the eVisa include Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and most EU member states.

Travelers from countries not eligible for the eVisa must apply for a visa through a Zimbabwean embassy. Zimbabwe also offers a KAZA UniVisa, which allows travelers to visit Zimbabwe and Zambia with one visa and take day trips into Botswana.

Zimbabwe issues work visas, student visas, residence permits, and other specialized categories such as volunteer or medical treatment visas for long-term stays. These require additional documentation and must be obtained through official immigration channels.

To avoid delays or denials, always check the latest visa rules through the Zimbabwe government before applying.
