Online Visa Application Problems

by Ted
(Kenya)

My wife and I are both Category C nationals (Philippines) and so applied for a visa online. The online application process required us to answer the question if we are traveling with our spouse so we answered 'yes'. I received my visa confirmation but my wife has not. Its Saturday and our trip is on Monday. Assuming the airlines allow us to board, will the immigration officials in Zimbabwe allow my wife in? I appreciate a response.

3 entries to Zimbabwe for category C

by Mamiou
(Thailand)

Hi! I am a Thai citizen, living in Maputo, Mozambique. I will travel to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, and stay there for 5 days (Friday-Tuesday).

During my stay, I would like to visit both Chobe in Botswana and Livingstone in Zambia. This would mean 3 entries visa. However, unfortunately, for Thais, we are in C category and I can only apply for double entry visa online. I tried to apply for multiple entries via Embassy but the Embassy of Zimbabwe in Maputo no longer issues visa there. This leaves me no alternative but applying online and applying online only offers double entries option. I applied and was already granted the confirmation for visa on arrival. However, this means I need to sort out still on how can I leave and enter Zimbabwe one more time?

Can I apply online again for single entry visa? after already approved for double visa..
Is this allowed?
I called the immigration in Harare and she said I should reapply when I use my second entry, but it would be during Saturday-Sunday and I doubt that they work on the weekend. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated!

Thank you so much in advance

Double entry visa question

by Greg
(USA)

We are arriving in Zimbabwe via Rovos Rail train from South Africa. After staying four days at Vic Falls, we travel to Botswana for 2 days via car and then return to Zimbabwe to catch our flight out of Vic Falls Airport.

Will we be able to buy a double visa at the Plumtree border? Rovos said officials will board the train to issue visas but wanted to ensure that double visas can be issued at border crossings.

Border Visa for Bus Travel

by JG
(NZ)

We are entering Zim from Joberg on an Intercape bus. I was on the understanding as a Cat.B country (NZ) we could get the visa at the border but intercape have informed "All your documentation must be in order when you get on our bus. we do not wait at the borders for passengers to get visa’s."
Can you advise how to get a visa before, there is no consulate in NZ.

Zimbabwe Visa from Thailand

by John waith
(Uk)

I want to travel to Zimbabwe from Thailand , do I need a visa before I leave Thailand ?

When and where should we obtain our Zimbabwe visa?

Hello,
My husband and I are visiting Victoria Falls next February (2015) and are undecided as to whether we should get our Zimbabwe visa (double entry as we are visiting Chobe) from the Zimbabwe embassy in London before we travel or wait until we arrive at Victoria Falls airport. I understand that the visa is cheaper at the airport however as we are travelling independently we do not want any surprises!
Many thanks, Lindsay

Chobe day trip visa requirements.

I'm planning on flying straight to Victoria Falls and doing a day trip to Chobe on one of the days. Do I have to purchase a double entry visa into Zimbabwe together with a single entry visa into Botswana? What would the overall price of that be, and how do you get the cash for that when ATMs only issue rand? (and I am not American so don't have cash handy.)

Thank you for your help!

How to apply for visa for indian national to visit vic falls?

Getting from Zim to Zam or Zam to Zim

by Mr. and Mrs. R.A. Einfeldt
(Kimberley, South Africa)

We are thinking of a trip to the Falls, and wondered if we can easily get from one side to the other, and if we hired a car, would we be allowed across the border, as long as later in our visit we returned the car to wherever we hired from? Is it cheaper to hire a car at the airport or in town, and would that be in Vic Falls or Livingstone? As we understand it, the falls is best viewed from Zimbabwe side but accommodation is more plentiful and cheaper in Zambia. Cost IS an issue. We would be coming from Johannesburg but with American passports. Does either country require a visa for US citizens? Is there an INEXPENSIVE package we could get with flight and hotel all together? We do not need a FANCY hotel. Only decent accommodation for this (cold) time of year.
Thank you.

Visas for canadians

Arriving zim then going to chobe for day then returning to zim. Can you please advise how to obtain visas and cost for two canadians. Thank you

Answer:
By Tony

Canadians can only buy single entry visas. So you will need to buy a visa when you first land in Victoria falls @ $75 each. Then when you re-enter Zimnbabwe after your Chobe trip you buy another single entry visa at $75 each. so your total cost per person will be $150

Multi entry visas for Zimbabwe

by Cheryl
(Hingham, MA USA)

On this site, the info seems conflicting. WE are flying into VF and taking a full day trip to Chobe so we will need a multiple entry visa. Can we get his on arrival? The info on this site is conflicting:


If you have purchased a single entry visa upon arrival and then decide to leave Zimbabwe, even for a few hours, you will need to buy another visa to re-enter Zimbabwe. In this instance you should buy a double entry visa upon arrival, it works out cheaper.
NB - Multiple Entry Visas - cannot be obtained at the port of entry into Zimbabwe. You may enter Zimbabwe on a single entry visa and then obtain a Multiple Entry Visa from the town office - but this may take up to 7 working days to be issued.

One says you can get a double entry on arrival and the other says multiple entry visas CANNOT be obtained at the port of entry. We are leaving NEXT WEEK. Can we get the double entry on arrival?

Answer:
By Tony
Sorry if you have found the information conflicting. There is a difference between a double entry visa (which allows you 2 entries and a Multiple entry visa (which allows you 3 or more entries) - they are not the same thing .
So you can buy a double entry at the border (2 entries) but you CANNOT buy a multiple entry (3 or more entries)
Hope that clarifies things

Victoria Falls border / parks opening hours

by Justyna
(Warsaw, Poland)

Hello Boo and Tony,

First of all I must say I really loved your website and found it extremely helpful!

As we will be visiting VF in May(staying in Livingstone and for 24 hrs only - I know it's a pity), we are trying to figure out the best way to visit both sides. Do you happen to know the opening hours of both parks and border posts?

Thanks in advance and regards from Poland,

Purchasing Multiple Visas

by Michael
(Oregon, USA)

Hello,
I will be traveling with a group of U.S. and Australian citizens. Our travel plans require a total of 3 entries into Zimbabwe, but we are not able to get a multiple entry visa ahead of time due to time constraints. Is it possible to purchase a double entry visa at the airport in Harare, and simply purchase a new single entry visa when we cross the border again? We are hoping to do a day trip into Zambia and a Day trip to Chobe, but want to be sure we can purchase a new visa to get back to our hotel in Vic Falls, Zimbabwe.

Thanks for the help!

Answer:
(By Tony)

Hello Michael

Yes you can do exactly as you have stated no problem. Buy the double entry on arrival and then another single entry, this is perfectly accepted. If there are any Canadians with you they can only buy a single entry @ $75 each (they would have to buy 3 of these)

by Wilson Ko

According to the most information I've got,
an entry visa is required for Taiwanese passport holders to entry Zimbabwe.
However, someone says we can get transit visa at the airport or border without getting a visa previously.
I'd like to know if it's true.
Could you please providing any information for this?
Thank you so much!

Returning to Zimbabwe

Okay so my question is if you have already used your 90 day visitor visa into Zimbabwe and have returned back to the U.S., what are the requirements needed to temporarily return to Zimbabwe in the same calendar year?

Hi There

You simply buy another visa when you arrive at the airport. You are not restricted to the amount of times you can enter the country in any one year.

US Citizen traveling from Windhoek to Livingstone

by Ian Hefele
(Windhoek, Namibia)

Hi,

I'm a US Citizen and I'm planning on traveling from Windhoek to Livingstone Zambia. I will be staying 3 nights in Livingstone and will most likely travel one day over to the Zim side. Will I need a multiple entry visa to Zambia?

How much is that?

Day trips to Zim are still US$30?

Thanks

Dual nationality

I have German/Canadian passports - I am flying to VFA and would like to do a day trip to the Zambian side of the falls.

As I understand it, if I used my Canadian passport I would have to pay $75US on arrival, $20US for a <24hr visa to Zambia, and then another $75US to return to Zimbabwe?

HOWEVER, if I used my German passport I could get a multi-entry visa in VFA for something like $40US and the $20US daytripper visa for Zambia?

If I were then travelling on to Botswana on a tour, could I then switch back to my Canadian passport?

I had read that Zambia doesn't recognize dual nationality so I would need to be able to show an exit stamp from the previous country (which seemed odd, never needed to do that before) and I wasn't sure if Botswana had a similar rule.

thanks!

Queues for obtaining a visa at the airport.

I'm told that the visa lines at the airport can be long. My husband and I will be arriving at the VFA on May 26 (Monday) at 13:05 via British Airways. We only have 24 hours in Victoria Falls. If we wait until we get to the airport to purchase a visa, will we have time to do the Flight of Angels and a dinner cruise (not sunset cruise)?

We have considered paying the $60 pp to get a visa in advance (as opposed to $30 pp at the airport), however, it is an arduous process. Is there a separate line at the airport for people who already have their visas?

Additionally, I have read that the multi-entry visa line tends to be shorter than the single entry visa line. Is this true? If so, would it be worth purchasing a multi-entry visa (even if we don't plan to use it)? And can you purchase this and not use it?

Thank you.

Double entry for Catagory C passport holders

I am a Thai passport holder so I know I need to apply for an entry visa prior to arrival and that I can only get a single entry visa as Thailand falls in the Catagoty C countries.

However, I am travelling to Chobe National Parking by a tour bus after arrival at Victoria Falls airport for a 2 night stay. Then I shall return to Victoria Falls on the 3rd day.

My question is:"Can I buy a double entry visa at the airport before I leave to Botswana having used up the Single Entry visa upon arrival?"

The Chobe National park is part of an excursion tour that I have booked for Victoria Falls. I shall not be in Victoria Falls long enough to purchase a multiple entry visa if it needs 7 days.

I shall appreciate your suggestion of how to overcome this problem of a single entry visa when I really need a double 1.

Advantages for getting visa before travel

Is there an advantage getting our visa for Zambia and Zimbabwe before we travel, would it speed up the entry at the airport in Livingstone and at the border point to Zimbabwe, or is it just as easy to get them at port of entry. We are both Uk passport holders.

It is confusing enough to work out what is needed to visit the Falls, but this makes it impossible to work out.

Short stop-over in Vic Falls

by Alan
(UK)

We have a tour ending in Livingstone which has 2 days around the Zambian side of the falls in November. We could have one day/night over in Zimbabwe (cross over AM stay all day/overnight) fly-out midday next day to cape town. A big part of me thinks we should do this (probably spend day on walks around Falls)but as we are from the UK I guess this will cost us the $55 VISA (is that right?)I guess we can get a taxi to bridge & cross over/pay the visa fee on foot. The National Park Fee is fine.
Is there any way of doing this more efficiently/what do you think?
Thanks
Alan,Liz & Jacqueline

PS your site is a great resource.

Visa Requirements/Availability Zim and Zam

by Steve
(Florida, USA)

US couple flying into VFA. We will do a day trip to Chobe. Also plan to do a day trip walking over the bridge to Zambia. Questions:

Understand we can't buy a mult-entry Zim Visa at VFA -- even though the website says we can ... but your site says this may be available "in the office in town".

Where is the office?

Also will they simply charge the difference ($55 vs $45 (double) vs $30 (single)) or will they charge the full $55 for multi entry even after paying at the airport?

Understand this can take up to 7 days but we plan to stay in Vic Falls for 11 days so that may be OK.

Understand we can get a "day" pass to Zambia for $20 for under 24 hours. That may work for us but if we decide to walk over again is it another $20 or will they look at us and say we can't do a day trip on 2 different days without getting a regular Visa?

If we don't get a multi-entry in "town" then what happens when we have entered Zim and taken the day trip to Chobe (double entry) ... then walk over to Zambia and need to get back to Zim? Do we then pay $30 at the bridge for single entry or $45 at the bridge for another double entry in case we want to walk to Zambia more than once? Or do we have a problem?

Thanks for any Info

Passport entry regulations to zimbabwe

Visa costs x2 to visit the Falls?

by Liziwe
(Cape Town)

Hi there, thanks for putting together a great website!

I was intending to self drive from Botswana to Vic Falls, then cross over to Livingstone and drive to Katima Mulilo. But I just realised that I would be paying well over $100 dollars in visa fees! Ouch!

Do you know of any short-term visa options to Zambia or Zimbabwe that would allow a visit to both sides, but without having to pay such crazy visa costs? (I have a UK passport). I understand there is a day visa for Zambia, but then I must already have a multi-entry visa from the Zimbabwe consulate, I believe.

Any suggestions? Maybe I should just visit one side of the falls??

Thanks for your ideas.

I have read that you cannot use a day visa into Zambia from Victoria Falls if you are leaving from Livingstone airport. Is this correct?

What are the travel requirements to/from Zimbabwe for children? I am single mother with 12 y.o. child travelling from South Africa.

Kaza Visa on arrival

Can we get Kaza Visas on arrival at Lusaka Airport, Victoria Falls airport, or as British Citizens that don't require Visas for Zambia, at the Victoria falls border crossing?
As our plans involve multiple crossings at Victoria Falls and Kazangula, The Kaza visa is better for us.

Port of Entry

I have a Kaza Visa issued by Zambia. Can my first port of entry be at Victoria Falls Airport in Zimbabwe?

Hi!
Thank you for this website.
I am an Indian passport holder. Currently I am in Francistown, Botswana.
I don’t have Zimbabwe or Zambia visa.
How do you suggest would be the best way to visit Victoria Falls?

Hi!

we are from Italy, so we didn't need Visa to visit Zambia.

We will stay few days in Livingstone and we want to go to Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe).

Is it possible? We can cross two or more times Zambia border only with passport stamp?

Thanks you

Visa options for Zim-Zam and Botswana

Hello,
I plan to arrive at VFA airport and go straight to Chobe NP for 2 nights, then return to Victoria Falls and do multiple crossings between Zim and Zam.
I have a US passport.
What is the best combination of visas? Single entry on arrival at VFA (before going to Chobe) and then KAZA UNIVISA when re-entering Zimbabwe?
Thanks in advance.

Number of passport pages needed for repeated border crossings at Victoria Falls

Okay, I know there are a number of posts around this issue, but still uncertain about the following: If we arrive in Zimbabwe into VFA, transit to Zambia for our hotel, return to Zimbabwe for seeing the falls from that side, return to our hotel in Zambia, and then come back to VFA for our departure flight, how many pages of our passports do we expect to be consumed by all of this border crossing? We are travelling on a US passport. As far as I can tell, we might just need 1-2 pages per country total, or we might need as many as 12 total for our total of three entries into Zimbabwe and two into Zambia.
