Passports & Visa Requirements

Passports and Visa Requirements are one of the Things About Zimbabwe You Should Know. If you are visiting Zimbabwe, your passport should be valid for at least six months from the date of your arrival and have three blank pages left in it to allow you to enter Zimbabwe and depart through one of the neighboring countries if you need to leave quickly. Check with your travel provider to ensure that your passport and other travel papers are acceptable.

To visit Zimbabwe, you will require a visa. Visitors are normally granted entrance authorization for 30 days, but you should double-check that the number of days granted at the port of entry covers the length of your desired stay. If necessary, you can ask to have this term renewed and extended. If you want to extend or renew your visa or permission, you must go via the appropriate Government of Zimbabwe department. It is prohibited to make a false statement in support of a visa application. If you travel without the proper papers, you risk being arrested and deported. If you hold a tourist visa, you are not permitted to conduct business or seek employment. Volunteering and missionary work are considered labor for a period of 30 days, therefore a temporary working visa is necessary to engage in these activities while in Zimbabwe. To work, you must have the proper visa or work permit. Before you go, confirm current entry requirements with the Zimbabwe Embassy in London.
