Electronic visa to Zimbabwe
Travelling to the heart of southern Africa is still an adventure today. EU citizens and German nationals are welcome in Zimbabwe, but a passport alone is not sufficient as an entry document.
The electronic visa to Zimbabwe (eVisa) is a convenient way to obtain authorisation to enter the country without visiting a consulate. The application is made online, making the process much easier for tourists, business travellers and those visiting Zimbabwe for other reasons.
To apply for an e-visa, you will need to provide a scan of your passport, a colour photograph, hotel booking confirmation or invitation from your host, and return tickets. It is important that the passport is valid for at least six months from the date of entry.
Visas are usually processed within 7 working days, however times may vary. There are several types of visas: single entry, double entry and multiple entry, each of which has its own validity period and number of permitted entries. The KAZA UNIVISA visa allows you to visit several countries in the region.

What documents do I need to apply for a visa to Zimbabwe?
All visas require a passport photograph, a copy of the page in your passport with biometric data and proof of residence (proof of registration). If you have already been in the country on a visa, previous visas must be attached to your visa application. The documents to be submitted are related to the purpose of your trip. You need to document the purpose of your trip in your visa application and provide official documents supporting your statements.
If you are invited by locals, their identity and place of residence must be stated and documented. This will allow the Zimbabwean immigration authorities to understand who you are visiting and where you will be staying. Some travellers may find this difficult and inconvenient, but it is in line with international practice - hotels around the world are also required to pass on a guest list, including copies of guests' passports, to the relevant immigration authorities.
Business travellers should provide proof of their business and their partner's business in Zimbabwe. This will enable immigration authorities to understand the reason for travelling and distinguish imaginary reasons from genuine reasons. Since the Zimbabwe Immigration Department estimates that the processing time for e-visas is only one week, such accurate documentation on your part also successfully speeds up the procedure.

What you need to know about e-visa
Warning. If you are travelling as a tourist, work of any kind is not covered by your visa. Engaging in employment is an offence to stay in Zimbabwe and is punishable by heavy fines and/or imprisonment.
Work is not only paid work but also voluntary work. For example, if you assist voluntarily and without pay at a street festival or in wedding preparations, this may be considered work and punishable under criminal law.
A business visa is also required for such activities. However, the visa issued by the Zimbabwean immigration authorities at airports is basically a tourist visa only, that is, without a work permit. If you want to conduct any activity in the country other than tourism, you need to apply for an e-visa in advance.
Even as a tourist, you should apply for an e-visa well in advance of your trip to avoid the risk of uncertainty when your visa is issued at the airport!
