Category C ordinary passports: Zimbabwe advance electronic visitor visa
The official Category C and eVisa regime require this cohort to apply, pay and obtain approval before travel. Immigration describes the approval as electronically issued and emailed, so it is normalized as evisa rather than visa required.
- This policy covers only the named Category C ordinary-passport visitor cohort. The eVisa confirmation is issued electronically and emailed; passport stamping on arrival does not convert it into visa on arrival.
- The official portal says to apply at least three weeks before travel and describes eVisa validity from issue as one month single-entry, three months double-entry, or six months multiple-entry. Processing or payment does not guarantee approval or admission.
- The Entry Declaration is separate from the eVisa. Work, residence, business-only, transit, diplomatic, official, service, refugee and special-document rules remain outside this baseline; entry is subject to security and Immigration discretion.
