Italy to Zimbabwe visa requirements
Italian (ordinary) passport holders are Category B for Zimbabwe: a visa is required but can be obtained on arrival at any port of entry for US$30 (single entry), or applied for in advance online via the official eVisa portal. Italy is classified by the Zimbabwe Department of Immigration as a Category B country. This means Italian ordinary passport holders do not need to apply for a visa before travelling but must pay for and obtain a visa upon arrival at any Zimbabwean international airport or land border. The single-entry tourist visa costs US$30, is valid for a stay of up to 30 days, and is typically issued on the spot. Travellers who prefer certainty can instead apply in advance through Zimbabwe's official eVisa platform (evisa.gov.zw), which processes applications in roughly 2-7 working days for the same fee. Visitors heading to Victoria Falls and crossing into Zambia may opt for the KAZA UniVisa (US$50), which covers both Zimbabwe and Zambia. Passports must be valid for at least six months and have blank pages; proof of onward travel and accommodation may be requested. Zimbabwe is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
