On arrival
Greek nationals need a visa for Zimbabwe; it can be obtained on arrival or, preferably, online via the e-Visa before departure. A passport valid for at least six months is required.
This guide is for Greek citizens planning a tourist trip to Zimbabwe. The country issues a visa on arrival at the main entry points, but also offers an e-Visa to apply for online from Greece before boarding. Arranging the e-Visa ahead of time reduces waiting at the borders; your passport must be valid for at least six months, and the fee should be confirmed on the official source.

Yes: holders of a Greek passport must obtain a visa to enter Zimbabwe. Two routes exist: the visa on arrival at authorised airports and border posts, or the e-Visa applied for online before departure. The pre-arranged e-Visa is recommended so you hold an already-approved authorisation and avoid queues.
The official fee for a visa for Zimbabwe is not published in a source we can verify. Check the amount on the official portal before paying anything, third-party sites often add service fees on top.
The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.
Paid to the state, non-refundable if the visa is refused.
Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.
We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.
The exact list for Zimbabwe is not published in a source we can verify. Every short-stay tourist application is nonetheless built on the same core:
Treat this as the common core, not the official list, confirm it with the consular authorities of Zimbabwe before you apply.
Prepare a Greek passport valid for at least six months, an ID photo, an accommodation address in Zimbabwe and a return or onward ticket. The visa fee varies depending on whether it is single-entry, double-entry or the regional KAZA univisa; the exact amount must be checked on the official Zimbabwean portal before travel.
For the e-Visa, go from Greece to the official portal evisa.gov.zw: complete the form, upload a photo and the passport bio-data page, pay online and wait for approval by email. If you choose the visa on arrival, present yourself at the immigration desk with a complete file and the means to pay the fee.
A visa on arrival for Zimbabwe is issued at the border post itself, at a counter placed before immigration control.
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Greece but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.
Pick your nationality to see the rule
A visa on arrival is issued at the counter of the entry point when you cross the border: there is no processing time to plan for before departure.
If you choose the e-Visa, lodge the application several working days before departure. A yellow-fever vaccination certificate may be required if you arrive from a risk country, so check this point in advance. Also consult the travel information from the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs (mfa.gr) for the current recommendations.



Frequent problems are a passport valid for under six months, no means of paying for the visa on arrival, a missing onward ticket, or choosing a single-entry visa when a regional itinerary (Victoria Falls, Zambia, Botswana) requires several entries. Check the visa type suited to your route before booking.
