  • Searched the eVisa FAQ capture for funds, accommodation, invitation, insurance, onward travel and passport requirements: none are stated for the KAZA Univisa (only that an eVisa not matching the travel document is invalid).

Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

Apply online through the eVisa platform (an online platform for foreign nationals to apply for a Zimbabwe visa) at least three weeks before travel; processing takes on average seven working days. The Department of Immigration may change the visa type during processing, which may affect the cost. The official source does not state when a stay in Zimbabwe can be extended.
