Do I need a visa for Zimbabwe from Poland?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Polish travellers need a visa for Zimbabwe, available as a visa on arrival or as an e-Visa applied for online. Obtaining the e-Visa before departure is advised to avoid airport queues.
Polish nationals travelling to Zimbabwe are not visa-exempt: they can obtain it on arrival or apply for an e-Visa online before leaving. The online application is made on the official portal and the approval is presented at entry. The Polish passport must be valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Poles must obtain a visa to enter Zimbabwe. Two options exist: the visa on arrival at the main entry points, or the e-Visa applied for in advance online. The e-Visa is recommended so you arrive with an already-approved document.
How and where to apply
For the e-Visa, apply from Poland at evisa.gov.zw: an online form, a digital photo and a copy of the passport page. Payment is made by card on the portal and the approval arrives by email. For the visa on arrival, have the fee and supporting documents ready at the immigration desk.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least six months, a recent photo, a return ticket and the address of your accommodation in Zimbabwe. The visa fee is not fixed here: refer to the official rate on the e-Visa portal. Check whether you need a single- or double-entry visa depending on your regional itinerary.
Processing and tips
For the e-Visa, apply several days before departure to cover online processing. Check that the data matches the passport exactly to avoid invalidation. If you choose the visa on arrival, bring the exact amount and allow extra time at the airport.
Common mistakes
Use only the official portal evisa.gov.zw for the e-Visa: third-party sites overcharge. Relying on the visa on arrival without cash or supporting documents, or choosing the wrong entry category for a Victoria Falls circuit, causes complications. Finally, a passport valid for less than six months leads to a boarding refusal in Poland.
