Visitor visa

eVisa, visa on arrival and KAZA UniVisa

Zimbabwe sorts nationalities into three groups: those who need no visa, those who can pay for a visa on arrival (or apply online), and those who must get a visa before travelling. Visas can be applied for on the official eVisa portal. Options include single entry (1 month), double entry (3 months), multiple entry (6 months) and the KAZA UniVisa covering countries in the Kavango Zambezi area (1 month).
