Zimbabwe
Use our advice together with your own research from reputable sources to plan your trip.
Entry and Exit
Singaporeans can stay up to 90 days in Zimbabwe without a visa. There should be at least six months' validity on your passport on the expected date of departure from Zimbabwe. Travellers are advised to contact your travel agency, or the nearest Embassy of Zimbabwe for latest information.
Safety and Security
Travelling on roads and highways is generally safe. When driving, Singaporeans should stick to major roads, check routes in advance and not rely solely on GPS (which tends to select the shortest route including unpaved and unlit tracks), avoid stopping on highways, be prepared for breakdowns, and pay attention to natural hazards such as animals, fog and flash floods especially at night.
If you have been to a region with yellow fever, you will be asked to produce your yellow fever vaccination certificate for entry into Zimbabwe. You may wish to consult Tan Tock Seng Travellers' Clinic for vaccinations and medical advice needed for travel to Zimbabwe.
Local Laws
Be aware of laws that prohibit photography of government buildings or any property guarded by police or army personnel. You are advised to avoid taking photos of any guards.
The unlicensed purchase of or trading in endangered wildlife products such as ivory and rhino horn is illegal and carries severe penalties.
Additional Information
If you are travelling to Zimbabwe via South Africa, do note that South Africa has strict entry regulations for minors (i.e. those under 18 years of age) to prevent child trafficking. Any minor travelling with one parent or without his/her parents must provide certain documentation for entry into South Africa. Please contact the High Commission of South Africa in Singapore for more details.
