Do I need a visa for Zimbabwe from South Korea?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
South Korean citizens need a visa for Zimbabwe, but it is easy to obtain on arrival or online (e-Visa) before departure.
Travellers holding a South Korean passport heading to Zimbabwe for tourism can obtain a visa on arrival at the main entry points (Harare and Victoria Falls airports, land borders). To avoid queues, applying for an e-Visa in advance on the official portal is strongly recommended. The passport must remain valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. South Korea is not on the visa-exempt list, but Zimbabwe issues a tourist visa on arrival to South Korean nationals, and an electronic version (e-Visa) is available beforehand. The e-Visa is recommended because it speeds up the border crossing.
How and where to apply
The e-Visa is applied for entirely online on the official portal https://www.evisa.gov.zw: create an account, complete the form, upload documents and pay. Alternatively, the visa can be requested directly at the immigration desk on arrival in Harare or Victoria Falls.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least six months, a passport photo, proof of accommodation and a return ticket. The visa fee is not stated here: check the current official rate on the e-Visa portal before paying.
Processing and tips
The e-Visa is usually processed within a few business days; submit your application well before departure. Check health requirements, in particular a possible yellow-fever vaccination certificate if you transit through a risk country.
Common mistakes
Do not leave it to the last minute by relying solely on the visa on arrival: an approved e-Visa secures entry. Make sure the name on your booking matches the passport exactly and that the passport has blank pages.
