Do I need a visa for Zimbabwe from Hungary?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Hungarian citizens need a visa for Zimbabwe, available on arrival or, preferably, as an e-Visa applied for online before departure on evisa.gov.zw.
Zimbabwe lets Hungarian travellers obtain a tourist visa on arrival at the main entry points, but the e-Visa applied for in advance on the official portal evisa.gov.zw remains the best option to avoid queues. The passport must be valid for at least six months; the exact fee appears on the portal at the time of application.
Do you need a visa for Zimbabwe?
Yes. Holders of a Hungarian passport must have a visa to enter Zimbabwe. Two routes exist: the visa on arrival at eligible airports and land borders, or the e-Visa applied for online before travel. The prior e-Visa is recommended for a faster crossing.
How and where to apply
For the e-Visa, the application is made online, from Hungary, on the official portal evisa.gov.zw: create an account, complete the form, upload your documents and pay by card. The authorisation is emailed to you. If you opt for the visa on arrival, be ready to pay the fee and present your supporting documents at the immigration desk.
Documents and fees
Bring a Hungarian passport valid for at least six months, a photo, an accommodation address and a return or onward ticket. Zimbabwe distinguishes several visa categories (single, double or multiple entry): the exact amount is not confirmed in this guide, so check the official fee on evisa.gov.zw before paying.
Processing time and practical tips
The e-Visa processing time is not guaranteed: submit the application several days before departure. Choose the entry category suited to your itinerary, especially if you plan to combine Zimbabwe and Zambia via Victoria Falls. Carry a printed copy of the e-Visa and check which entry points accept the visa on arrival.
Common mistakes
Use only the official portal evisa.gov.zw and beware of intermediary sites. Do not assume the visa on arrival will always be open at your border post, choose the right entry category, and check your passport's six-month validity as well as any yellow fever requirement depending on where you are travelling from.
