Egypt to Zimbabwe visa requirements

Egyptian ordinary passport holders can get a Zimbabwe tourist visa on arrival (Category B). You pay and obtain a single-entry visa at the port of entry for USD 30; an online eVisa is also available as an alternative. Egypt is classified under Zimbabwe's Category B, meaning Egyptian nationals are NOT required to obtain a visa before travelling but must pay for and receive a visa upon arrival at any Zimbabwean port of entry (airports and land borders). The single-entry tourist visa costs USD 30 and permits a stay of up to 30 days, single entry. A double-entry visa (USD 45) and KAZA UniVisa (USD 50, valid for Zimbabwe and Zambia) are also available at major entry points such as Victoria Falls and Harare airports. Visa on arrival is the simplest route, but the official Zimbabwe eVisa portal (evisa.gov.zw) lets travelers apply online in advance and is recommended if you want certainty before flying. Border posts accept cash only (USD) for the on-arrival visa, so carry exact change. A passport valid at least 6 months with two blank pages is required. This route was verified against the official Zimbabwe eVisa platform and Department of Immigration fee schedule as current to 2026.
