Zimbabwe Introduces Exciting New Online Immigration Form 2025
Big news for anyone planning a trip to Zimbabwe: starting 13 August 2025, those dreaded paper immigration forms are officially retiring at major airports like Victoria Falls, Harare, and Bulawayo. That’s right, no more scribbling your personal details while balancing a coffee cup, carry-on bag, and that travel-sized shampoo that somehow leaked in your backpack.
Instead, Zimbabwe is going digital. Fast, simple, and far less likely to leave you with ink-stained fingers or a crumpled piece of paper to juggle at security.

How It Works
Fill It Out Online
If you’re flying from a country eligible for visa-on-arrival, you’ll want to complete the form before you board. Think of it as pre-flight prep that’s actually manageable—no complicated math or late-night panic required.
No Paper Copies
Airports won’t be handing out paper forms anymore. Forget asking the check-in agent for one or hoping your neighbour didn’t mess theirs up. From now on, it’s all online—your own details, typed directly by you.
Your Info, Your Responsibility
This form is personal, and we mean really personal. Someone else filling it out for you? Big no. You’ll need to input your own details accurately, like a digital passport selfie that ensures immigration staff know who you are without the messy handwriting.
Why Going Digital Rocks
Less Stress, Fewer Mistakes
Completing your form online often means you can skip the paper version entirely when you land. No last-minute pen scavenges, no crumpled forms in your backpack, and definitely no awkward fumbling while everyone behind you sighs.
Paper Is Still There… For Now
Prefer the old-school pen-and-paper method? Don’t panic—manual forms will still exist for the few who need them. But with digital being faster and cleaner, it’s hard to imagine anyone going back.
Phased Rollout
Not every airport is fully digital yet, and some travellers might still have to use paper temporarily. This phased approach ensures smooth adoption while everyone gets the hang of the new system.
Pro Tip: Snap a screenshot of your completed online form. Technology is great, but a little backup never hurts in case your internet fizzles at the worst possible moment.
Where to Fill It Out
You can access the form via the Zimbabwe eVisa Portal. It’s straightforward, saves trees, and reduces stress at the arrival gate. Basically, it’s a tiny change that makes a huge difference for your travel experience.
Visa Fees (Nothing Changes)
Going digital doesn’t mean new fees. For travellers needing a visa-on-arrival, here’s the current pricing:
- Single-entry: USD 30
- Double-entry: USD 45
- United Kingdom: USD 55 / USD 70
- Canada: USD 75
Why This Matters
Faster processing. Fewer paper cuts. Zero last-minute form panic. More time to focus on what really matters: spotting elephants on safari, chasing sunsets over Victoria Falls, or exploring Zimbabwe’s unforgettable landscapes.
Picture this: you step off the plane, no frantic pen juggling, no confusion over form completion, and straight into the adventure waiting outside. Smooth, easy, and a whole lot more enjoyable than the old chaos.
So here’s the simple game plan:
- Fill out the online form before you fly.
- Screenshot it for peace of mind.
- Pack your bags.
- Enjoy a hassle-free arrival and get ready for Zimbabwe’s wild wonders.
Digital immigration forms might seem small, but they’re a huge win for travellers—and one more reason to start daydreaming about sun-soaked safaris, waterfalls, and iconic landscapes.
