| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel reservation confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host in Zimbabwe. Officers may ask for it during the visa-on-arrival process or at the immigration counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient cash or card | Have at least $500 USD in cash or a credit card with available limit to cover your stay. Immigration may ask for proof of financial means, especially if you lack a return ticket. | Recommended |
Apply early — processing can be slow

Keep digital and printed copies
Save your eVisa PDF on your phone and print a paper copy. Airlines check it at check-in, and immigration will ask to see it on arrival. Having both covers you if your phone dies.
