Russian Federation to Zimbabwe visa requirements

Russian ordinary passport holders are in Zimbabwe's Category B and can obtain a tourist visa on arrival at any Zimbabwean port of entry (airport or land border). The same visa can also be obtained in advance through the official Zimbabwe eVisa portal. A single-entry visa costs about US$30 and permits a 30-day stay. Zimbabwe classifies nationalities into three categories. Russia falls under Category B, meaning a Russian citizen does not need a visa issued in advance and is granted a visa on arrival at the port of entry upon payment of the visa fee. The standard tourist visa is single entry (US$30, 30 days), double entry (US$45) or multiple entry (US$55). For travelers combining Zimbabwe with Zambia (e.g., Victoria Falls), the KAZA Univisa (US$50, 30 days, both countries) is a popular alternative, though it is not issued at every port. As an alternative to paying at the border, Russian travelers may apply through the official Zimbabwe eVisa system (evisa.gov.zw) before departure; processing averages about 7 working days and the visa is valid for one month. Passports must be valid for at least six months and have blank pages; proof of onward travel and accommodation may be requested. There is no Schengen relevance (Zimbabwe is in southern Africa).
