Several nationalities are required to have a valid visa to enter Zimbabwe. There are 3 categories to help determine:
• Those who DO NOT require a visa
• Those who DO need a visa and can get it at the point on entry
• Those who DO need a visa but have to apply for it from their own country prior to arrival.

Visas purchased at the point of entry need to be paid for in cash, preferably small denominations and in the exact amount required as often receiving change is an issue.
Visa Types
Single Entry: This visa allows for entry into Zimbabwe one time only. Once you exit Zimbabwe, the visa cannot be used again and a new one will need to be obtained.
Double Entry: This visa allows for up to two entries into Zimbabwe. Once you have used it for the two entries and two exits, the visa cannot be used again. This is a great option when doing an activity across the border.
Multiple Entry: This visas - CANNOT be obtained at the port of entry into Zimbabwe. You may enter Zimbabwe on a single entry visa and then obtain a Multiple Entry Visa from the town office - but this may take up to 7 working days to be issued and in many cases is declined - if you need to enter 3 or 4 times rather buy a single entry and then a double entry visa or two doubles, which is perfectly accepted by immigration.
Kaza or Uni-Visa: This visa allows for easy travel between Zambia and Zimbabwe on just one document.
