South Korea to Zimbabwe visa requirements

South Korean ordinary passport holders need a visa for Zimbabwe but qualify under Category B, which allows a visa on arrival at all ports of entry as well as an online eVisa applied in advance. A single-entry tourist visa costs USD 30 and grants 30 days, extendable up to 90 days total. Zimbabwe operates a three-tier visa system. Category A nationals are visa-exempt, Category C must apply at an embassy in advance, and Category B nationals can obtain a visa on arrival at any port of entry or apply online for an eVisa beforehand. South Korea (Republic of Korea) is classified as a Category B country, alongside Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and most of Europe. This means a Korean ordinary passport holder traveling for tourism does NOT need to obtain a visa before departure but DOES need a visa to enter; the simplest route is to pay for and receive a visa at the airport or land border on arrival. A single-entry tourist visa costs USD 30, a double-entry visa USD 45, and a multiple-entry visa USD 55. Visas are normally issued for an initial 30-day stay, extendable in 30-day increments up to a maximum of 90 days. As an alternative, the official eVisa portal (evisa.gov.zw) lets travelers apply online in advance with roughly 7 working days processing, which reduces queues and payment friction at the border. Korean nationals are also eligible for the KAZA UniVisa (USD 50), a joint Zimbabwe-Zambia visa useful for those visiting both sides of Victoria Falls. Passports must be valid for at least six months with at least one blank page. No specific recent (2024-2026) bilateral visa-waiver agreement places South Korea in the visa-free category; the visa-on-arrival/eVisa regime remains in force as of mid-2026.
