Israel to Zimbabwe visa requirements

Israeli passport holders need a visa for Zimbabwe, but it is easy to obtain. Israel is a Category B country, meaning you can either apply online for an eVisa before you travel or get a visa on arrival at Zimbabwe's airports and major border posts. The single-entry tourist visa costs USD 30 and is the most common choice. A visa is required for Israeli (ordinary passport) tourists visiting Zimbabwe, but the process is straightforward. Under Zimbabwe's three-tier visa regime, Israel falls in Category B: nationals are not required to obtain a visa before departure and may pay for a visa on arrival at international airports (Harare, Victoria Falls, Bulawayo) and major land borders. Alternatively, and recommended for predictability, travelers can apply for an eVisa online at the official portal evisa.gov.zw before the trip. The standard tourist visa is single entry (USD 30), with double entry (USD 45) and multiple entry (USD 55) also available. eVisas are typically processed within about 7 working days. Passports must be valid for at least six months and have blank pages; proof of onward travel and accommodation may be requested. The visa validity defines the window to enter (1 month for single entry); immigration officers typically grant up to 30 days of stay per entry, extendable locally up to a 90-day maximum.
