Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before you fly | Apply for a Zimbabwe eVisa at www.evisa.gov.zw at least 3 business days before departure. Processing takes 2–5 days — do not book non-refundable flights until you have the approval email. The eVisa is single-entry and valid for 3 months from issue date.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must have 6 months validity | Your Cambodian passport needs at least 6 months of remaining validity from your date of entry into Zimbabwe. Airlines at Phnom Penh and Siem Reap check this before letting you board — no exceptions. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Harare and Victoria Falls airports always ask for a confirmed return or onward ticket. A bus ticket to a neighboring country works if it shows you leaving Zimbabwe within the eVisa validity period. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Zimbabwe. Officers occasionally ask for it at the counter — a booking confirmation from Booking.com or Airbnb works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing access to at least $500 USD equivalent. Immigration rarely asks, but if they do, a screenshot of your mobile banking app is accepted. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Zimbabwe, not from when you leave. If it expires sooner, renew before applying for the eVisa.
eVisa is single entry only
The eVisa allows one entry. If you leave Zimbabwe (even to a neighboring country), you'll need a new eVisa to return. Plan your itinerary accordingly.
What happens at the border
1

Arrive at Zimbabwe airport
At Harare or Victoria Falls airport, head to immigration. Present your passport, printed eVisa, return ticket, and accommodation confirmation. The officer will stamp you in — usually takes 5–10 minutes.
