Do I need a visa for Zimbabwe from Belgium?

Discover visa requirements for your trip

In short

Belgian nationals need a visa for Zimbabwe, available on arrival or, preferably, as an e-Visa applied for online before departure.

Travellers from Belgium must obtain a visa to enter Zimbabwe, whether to see Victoria Falls or for business. The country issues a visa at entry points, but the e-Visa requested in advance on the official portal makes arrival smoother. The passport must be valid for at least six months.

Do you need a visa?

Yes. A Belgian citizen must hold a visa to travel to Zimbabwe. The visa on arrival is issued at borders and airports, but the e-Visa applied for online before the trip is the recommended option. Check the entry type (single or multiple) suited to your stay.

How and where to apply

For the e-Visa, log in to the official portal evisa.gov.zw, create an account, complete the form and attach the supporting documents. You receive an approval by email to present on arrival. If you choose visa on arrival, prepare payment at the border post after checking the current conditions on the official source.

Documents and fees

Bring a Belgian passport valid for at least six months, a passport photo, an address of accommodation in Zimbabwe and, often, a return ticket. The fee varies by visa type and is not confirmed here: check the official rate on evisa.gov.zw. A yellow-fever certificate may be required if you arrive from a risk area.

Processing and practical tips

Processing time for the e-Visa is not guaranteed, so apply ahead of departure. Keep the approval both printed and as a digital copy. If you plan to cross into Zambia near Victoria Falls, look into the KAZA visa, valid for both countries.

Common mistakes to avoid

Do not use unofficial sites that overcharge for the process: only evisa.gov.zw is authorised. Do not assume visa on arrival will always be offered at your entry point — confirm it in advance. Finally, a passport with too little validity will lead to denied boarding.
