Zimbabwe Introduces New Online Immigration Form – Say Goodbye to Paper Chaos
Heads up, globe-trotters! Zimbabwe is making one small change that could save you from one giant headache at the airport. Starting 13th August 2025, paper immigration forms are officially going the way of the dinosaur at airports like Victoria Falls, Harare, and Bulawayo.
But before you start panicking, take a deep breath: this isn’t a visa. Nope, it’s just the arrival form you’d normally scribble on like a caffeinated squirrel. Now, it’s digital, fancy, and much less likely to get smudged by coffee or your “carry-on chaos.”
If you need help with your next event, incentive, meeting, conference or group to Zimbabwe, please
What You Need to Know Zimbabwe Introduces New Online Immigration Form
- Online, Not Optional: Zimbabwe Immigration strongly recommends that travellers from visa-on-arrival countries complete this form online before boarding. Consider it your pre-flight homework—but way easier than algebra.
- No Handouts, No Excuses: Forget grabbing a paper form from the check-in counter or your plane seat. From 13 August, staff at OR Tambo and other airports won’t have any forms for you. Sorry, no sneakily borrowing your neighbour’s sheet.
- Do It Yourself: This form is personal, and by that, we mean really personal. Someone else filling it out for you? Big no-no. Your sensitive details need to be typed in by you. Think of it as a digital “selfie” for immigration.
The Perks of Going Digital
- Less Paper, Less Stress: Complete the form online, and in most cases, you’ll skip the paper version entirely upon arrival.
- Still an Option for Paper Lovers: Didn’t get around to it? Don’t worry—manual forms are still there for those who prefer pen over pixels.
- Phased Rollout: Not every traveller will get the digital-only treatment just yet, especially if you’re living that “no Wi-Fi, no problem” lifestyle.

Travel Hack: Take a screenshot of your completed form and keep it handy. You never know when a network hiccup might make it disappear from the cloud.
Visa Costs (Still the Same)
- Single-entry: USD 30
- Double-entry: USD 45
- United Kingdom: USD 55 / USD 70
- Canada: USD 75
So there you have it: fewer paper cuts, faster arrivals, and one more reason to start daydreaming about Zimbabwean safaris, Victoria Falls, and legendary sunsets. Do the form, keep the screenshot, and enjoy the smoothest landing possible.
