Do I need a visa for Zimbabwe from India?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Indian nationals need a visa for Zimbabwe; it can be obtained on arrival at approved entry points or, preferably, online via the e-Visa before departure.
An Indian traveller wishing to visit Zimbabwe must arrange a tourist visa. The country issues a visa on arrival at the main entry points, but the e-Visa requested in advance on the official portal evisa.gov.zw is recommended to avoid queues. The passport must remain valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Indian citizens are not exempt and must obtain a visa to enter Zimbabwe. A visa on arrival is available at approved entry points, and the online e-Visa is the recommended alternative to secure boarding and save time at the border.
How and where to apply
From India, the applicant completes the form at evisa.gov.zw, uploads a photo, the passport bio page and travel documents, then pays online. The approved e-Visa is emailed and should be printed; otherwise the visa can be requested at the immigration counter on arrival.
Documents and fees
Have ready a passport valid for at least six months, a recent photo, an accommodation booking and a return ticket. The fee amount and validity period depend on the visa type (single or double entry) and are shown on the official portal; rely on that source for the exact price.
Processing and tips
Submit the e-Visa application several days before departure to allow for processing. If you choose the visa on arrival, be ready to pay in the accepted currency and keep your accommodation address and supporting documents to hand.
Common mistakes
Common mistakes are choosing a single-entry visa when a regional trip (Victoria Falls, Zambia) requires multiple entries, presenting a passport close to expiry, or using an unofficial site. Go only through evisa.gov.zw.
