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. "Marc Lurie" wrote in message news 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.

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 Tim Jones wrote: Hi there, I am travelling to Zimbabwe in a month and was hoping someone could clarify the visa situation.

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 |

writes 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 Address: Zimbabwe House 429 Strand London WC2R 0JR Telephone: (020) 7836 7755 Facsimile: (020) 7379 1167 Email: Office Hours: Mon-Fri: 0900–1700 Website: http://www.zimbabwelink.com 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.
