Brazil to Zimbabwe visa requirements

Brazilian ordinary passport holders are in Zimbabwe's Category B, which means a visa is required but can be obtained on arrival (USD 30, single entry, 30 days) at any major airport or land border. An optional eVisa can be applied for in advance at evisa.gov.zw. Brazil is classified under Category B in Zimbabwe's immigration system, alongside countries such as the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, France, Germany and Japan. Category B nationals do not need to obtain a visa before travelling: they can receive a visa on arrival at Zimbabwe's ports of entry (Harare International Airport, Victoria Falls Airport, Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo Airport, and major land borders) by paying the fee in cash US dollars. The standard tourist visa is a single-entry visa costing USD 30 and valid for a stay of up to 30 days. A double-entry visa (USD 45) and KAZA UniVisa (USD 50, covering Zimbabwe and Zambia) are also available. As a convenient alternative, Brazilians may apply in advance through the official Zimbabwe eVisa portal (evisa.gov.zw), which is processed in roughly 3-7 working days. Because Brazil is considered a yellow-fever-risk country, travellers arriving directly from Brazil may be asked to present a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate. Passports should be valid for at least six months with at least one blank page. This information was verified as current on 2026-05-30 against the Zimbabwe Department of Immigration, the official eVisa platform, and corroborating travel-information sources.
