Steps
- Check your country's category on the Immigration website. If your country is in category A, you need no visa. In category B, you get a visa on arrival. In category C, you need a visa before you travel.
- If you need a visa, apply on evisa.gov.zw at least three weeks before you travel. Applications take about seven working days on average, and you can't get the fee back.
- As a non-resident visitor, you also fill in an online arrival declaration before you travel. Use "Fill the declaration" on the e-visa site.
- Keep copies of your visa approval and declaration with you when you travel.

Watch out
Apply only on evisa.gov.zw. The Department of Immigration has said look-alike visa websites have nothing to do with it.
