Visa question

South African citizens fall under the "Visa application abroad" category,
which means they have to apply for a visa before traveling to Zimbabwe.

The info on this page was updated last week from official sources, such as
the ministry of Foreign Affairs website and the website of the Zimbabwean
High Commission in London.

The idea to add a datestamp on the page is a good one, though. Will look
into that.

I'm not too sure about the accuracy of this link. There is no mention
of visa requirements for South Africans for example. I don't know how
to check the date that the page was last updated.

Hi there,
I am travelling to Zimbabwe in a month and was hoping someone could
clarify the visa situation. Can I get one on arrival in Zim and if so,
is it single or multi-entry as I am hoping to travel to Malawi and
South
Africa as well?
Thanks,
Tim

Thanks for all the info guys. So can I get a multi-entry visa upon entry
and if so, how much is it?
Cheers,
Tim

My wife and I have travelled to Zimbabwe several times and just
returned from Malawi. Zim visas are obtained at the point of entry.
I believe US$20 or 30 for single entry and 10 more for multiple. Keep
in mind that the rate may change quickly if the government has
financial difficulties. IN ZIM YOU MUST HAVE US CURRENCY! Malawi has
a nominal if any visa fee, but they do have rather high airport
departure tax - again in US$. If you are going to Zambia there is a
visa fee that can be waived if you are part of an organized tour
(contact your tour operator to send a letter to the point of entry).
The US State Department has very good, up to date information on visas
and other entry requirements for most countries. You can get a lot of
information from the CIA website. Also, most countries embassies in
the US have good info. Hope this helps. Chris

There was never a problem with UK citizens travelling to Zimbabwe.
Single entry visas are available at the borders. HOWEVER, since Mr.
Mugabe (who's name said backwards is "Ee bah gum") decided that Tony
Blair is the antichrist, there may be some restrictions on English
travellers. It is virtually impossible for journalists to get visas.

I'd recommend contacting the embassy in London for more reliable
information. They are he

However, their website doesn't appear to be functioning. Perhaps they
forgot to pay the electricity bill...

Oh yes, I forgot that the internet is a construct of the evil colonial
mind, and that patriotic Zimbabweans shouldn't use the tools of the
wicked western oppressors. Silly me.

Marc,
Just to say I like your witty comments!
Also, being a Yorkshire woman I`m amused by the backward spelling of
the Comrade`s name!
