Zimbabwe’s eVisa option for other travellers
Travellers whose countries are not included in the visa-free arrangement can apply through Zimbabwe’s electronic visa system instead of obtaining a visa upon arrival. The online platform enables applicants to submit their visa requests and make payments before travelling.
Visa applications are generally processed within about seven working days, although processing times may differ depending on individual cases.
Zimbabwean authorities have also stated that they retain the authority to deny entry to any traveller, whether they are travelling with a visa or under the visa-free policy, without being required to give a reason.
