| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your Tunisian passport must be valid for at least the entire period you plan to stay in Zimbabwe. Immigration officers at Harare and Victoria Falls check this carefully — if your passport expires before you leave, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration at Zimbabwe's airports routinely asks for a return or onward ticket before they stamp you in. Airlines also check this at check-in. Have a printed copy or a screenshot ready on your phone. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration officers may ask where you're staying. Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host ready. A booking on Booking.com or Airbnb works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Officers at the border can ask for proof you have enough money for your stay. Carry a bank statement or a credit card with a reasonable limit. $300–$500 USD equivalent is a safe amount to show. | Recommended |
eVisa required — no visa on arrival for Tunisians
Tunisian passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Zimbabwe. You must obtain an approved eVisa before you travel. Apply at least 2 weeks in advance to avoid last-minute issues.
Passport validity counts from arrival, not departure
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Zimbabwe. If it expires sooner, you'll be denied entry — even if your trip is shorter.
