Visas to Zimbabwe

Visas for Zimbabwe are issued by the Department of Immigration Control in Harare. The Embassy does not process visa applications.

Which category are you in?

Zimbabwe’s visa rules put each nationality in one of three categories. Find yours on evisa.gov.zw.

• Category A: no visa is needed to enter Zimbabwe.
• Category B: the visa is issued at any legal port of entry, airport or border, when you pay the fee. Citizens of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland are in this category.
• Category C: apply online at evisa.gov.zw before you travel, and travel only once Zimbabwe Immigration has approved your visa.

Fees

• Single entry: USD 30
• Double entry: USD 45
• Multiple entry: visitors first obtain a single-entry visa at the port of entry, then apply for a multiple-entry visa. If it is granted, this normally takes seven working days.

What every applicant needs

• Two colour passport photographs, taken within the last six months
• A passport valid for at least six more months, and a copy of its details page
• Your itinerary or hotel booking, or, if you are invited, a letter of invitation from your host

Other visas

• Business visas: in addition, a letter of invitation from the partner company in Zimbabwe and a letter from the company sending you.
• Diplomatic passports: a note verbale giving the purpose and dates of the trip, the applicant’s name and passport number. Complete the form in capital letters.
• Work permits, transit and voluntary work: apply online at evisa.gov.zw. Questions go to admin@evisa.gov.zw or support@evisa.gov.zw.
