Do I need a visa for Zimbabwe from Norway?

Discover visa requirements for your trip

In short

Norwegian travellers need a visa for Zimbabwe, available on arrival or online (e-Visa). Applying for the e-Visa before departure is recommended to avoid waiting at the border.

You are a Norwegian national planning a tourist or business trip to Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe issues a visa to Norwegian nationals, either on arrival or through an online e-Visa. This guide explains both options and the points to check.

Do you need a visa?

Yes. Norwegian citizens must obtain a visa to enter Zimbabwe. It can be issued on arrival at approved entry points or applied for online in advance through the official e-Visa; the e-Visa avoids queues at the border. Your Norwegian passport must be valid for at least six months.

How and where to apply

For the e-Visa, apply online from Norway on the official portal (evisa.gov.zw): form, document upload and online payment. You receive the approval by email to print. Otherwise, the visa on arrival is obtained at the immigration counter at the airport or land border post.

Documents and fees

Carry a Norwegian passport valid at least six months, a photo, your itinerary and proof of accommodation. The visa amount depends on the type (single or multiple entry) and is not set here; rely on the official fee shown on the portal or at the point of entry.

Processing and tips

For the e-Visa, allow several days of processing: apply ahead of time. If you choose the visa on arrival, be ready to pay in the accepted currency and expect possible waiting. Check any health requirements (yellow fever depending on where you travel from) before leaving.

Common mistakes

Common mistakes are arriving without an e-Visa at an entry point that does not issue visas on the spot, a passport with insufficient validity, or the wrong choice between single and multiple entry. Always confirm the fee and current conditions on the official source before travelling.
