Do I need a visa for Zimbabwe from Sweden?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Swedish nationals need a visa for Zimbabwe. They can obtain it on arrival at the main entry points or, more comfortably, apply for the e-Visa online before departure.
Swedish travellers visiting Zimbabwe for tourism must obtain a visa. A visa on arrival is issued at international airports and the main border posts, but the authorities also offer an e-Visa through the official portal evisa.gov.zw. Applying for the e-Visa in advance avoids queues and secures your entry.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Swedish citizens do not have visa-free entry to Zimbabwe: a tourist visa is required. It can be obtained on arrival or online as an e-Visa before travel. The passport must be valid for at least six months at entry and have blank pages.
How and where to apply
For the e-Visa, apply on the official portal evisa.gov.zw: create an account, complete the form, upload the required documents and pay online. You receive an approval to print. Otherwise, the visa is obtained at the immigration desk on arrival at approved entry points.
Documents and fees
Have ready a passport valid for six months with blank pages, an accommodation booking, a return ticket and means of support. Depending on your itinerary, a yellow-fever vaccination certificate may be requested if you arrive from a risk area. The visa fee must be checked on the official portal, as it depends on the entry type (single or multiple).
Processing and tips
The Zimbabwe e-Visa is processed online within a few working days: allow one to two weeks. If you plan to visit Victoria Falls on the Zambian side, look into the KAZA visa, which can be more convenient. Check Swedish travel information (Sweden Abroad) before departure and keep a copy of your approval.
Common mistakes
Do not assume a visa on arrival is available at every border post, or that payment can be made by card: consider carrying cash in hard currency. Beware of a passport close to expiry and a lack of blank pages. Finally, use only the official portal evisa.gov.zw to avoid intermediaries.
