Zimbabwe Relaxes Visa Regulations

Posted on 7th March 2016

The Zimbabwean government has relaxed the visa regime for 37 countries including China while it has removed visa requirements for all visitors from the Southern African Development Community. This should greatly boost tourism to the country and is welcomed by all in the sector.

Zimbabwe uses a three tier visa model. The model is classified into categories A, B and C. Category A nationals are exempt from visas, category B  nationals can obtain visas at the port of entry on arrival and Category C nationals must apply for visas prior to travel.

With immediate effect China, along with 36 other countries, had been moved from Category C to B. All SADC countries have now been migrated to Category A.
