Do United Kingdom passport holders need a visa to visit ZW?

UK ordinary passport holders do NOT travel visa-free to Zimbabwe, but Britain is a Category B country, so you can get a visa on arrival at any Zimbabwean airport or land border. Pay USD 30 (single entry) in cash and receive a 30-day tourist visa stamped in your passport. You may also apply online in advance via the official eVisa portal if you prefer certainty. A British (GB) ordinary passport holder visiting Zimbabwe for tourism requires a visa, but the UK is classified by Zimbabwe's Department of Immigration as a Category B country. This means no advance application is required: the visa is issued on arrival at all ports of entry (Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport in Harare, Victoria Falls Airport, Bulawayo, and major land borders). The single-entry tourist visa costs USD 30 and is valid for a 30-day stay, extendable in-country up to a total of 90 days; a double-entry visa is USD 45. UK travellers may alternatively apply online through the official Zimbabwe eVisa platform (evisa.gov.zw) for added convenience, with processing typically taking a few working days. Travellers visiting both Zimbabwe and Zambia (e.g. both sides of Victoria Falls) can instead buy the KAZA UniVisa for USD 50, valid 30 days and covering day trips to Botswana. Passports must be valid at least 6 months with three blank pages. Fees at the border must be paid in cash in small-denomination US dollars; card acceptance is unreliable. Note that it is no longer possible to obtain a Zimbabwe visa from the embassy in London. Verified against the UK FCDO travel advice, the official Zimbabwe eVisa FAQ, and Zimbabwe Department of Immigration fee information (as of 2026-05-31).
