Zim/Zam Information

The Zim/Zam Univisa
Not Available at all Entry Points
The Zimbabwe and Zambia Univisa is currently not available at the Kariba, Chirundu and Beitbridge border posts. The Kaza univisa (single visa for entry into both Zambia and Zimbabwe) may be purchased at the following border posts only: Harry Mwaanga Airport (Livingstone), Victoria Falls land border, Kazungula land border (border with Botswana), Kenneth Kaunda Airport (Lusaka), Victoria Falls Airport, and Harare Airport.



Biometric Visa Requirement
With effect from October 2014, people travelling to South Africa who require a visa have to apply for the visa in person and submit biometric data. Despite President Jacob Zuma’s recent statement that government would prioritise the review of visa regulations, it would appear that the Department of Home Affairs is unlikely to make changes to the requirement that people make visa applications in person.

PACKAGES & SPECIALS
Zimbabwe VAT implication on Six Countries – Valid until 31 March 2015
There was no change to the accommodation rates as VAT was applied to these last year (half absorbed by Wilderness and half absorbed by the customer). Changes were made to the following services and an updated flyer is available on the Information Centre:

-  Victoria Falls-Hwange flight
-  Victoria Falls-Kasane road transfer
-  Victoria Falls-Hwange road transfer
-  Victoria Falls Airport-Victoria Falls town road transfer


Birth Certificates for Children Under 18 Years
As of 1 June 2015, all passengers under 18 years of age will need to present an unabridged birth certificate stating the names of the child’s mother and father, as well as a valid passport when entering, departing or transiting South Africa. Abbreviated versions or baptismal certificates are not accepted. This requirement applies to minors of ALL nationalities – whether travelling unaccompanied, with both parents, with one parent or with other adults. A sworn translation (certified/authenticated) in English should accompany all documentation that is in a language other than English.
