Thailand to Zimbabwe visa requirements

Thai (ordinary passport) travelers need a visa for Zimbabwe and must obtain it online before departure. Thailand is a Category C country, so visa-on-arrival is NOT available — apply for the Zimbabwe eVisa at evisa.gov.zw (single-entry tourist visa US$30). A Thailand ordinary passport holder cannot travel to Zimbabwe visa-free or with a visa on arrival. Under Zimbabwe's official three-tier system, Thailand is classified as a Category C country, meaning Thai nationals are required to pay for and obtain a visa BEFORE traveling. The route is therefore eVisa: applicants use the official Zimbabwe eVisa portal (www.evisa.gov.zw), upload supporting documents, pay online, and receive an approval letter before flying. The standard single-entry tourist eVisa costs US$30, is valid for one month from issue, and permits a stay of up to 30 days. Double-entry (US$45) and multiple-entry (US$55) options exist, and a KAZA UniVisa (US$50) covers both Zimbabwe and Zambia for Victoria Falls travelers. Average processing is around 7 working days, so apply well ahead. Passports must be valid at least 6 months with proof of onward travel. This was verified against the Zimbabwe Department of Immigration Category C list and the official eVisa portal as of mid-2026.
