The KAZA Uni-Visa saves time and money and enables much easier travel between Zimbabwe and Zambia (e.g. at Victoria Falls/Livingstone). It also covers people who want to enter Botswana for day-trips through the Kazangula border.
KAZA UNIVISA was first introduced as a one-year pilot scheme from November 2014 to December 2015 when 50,000 visas were issued.
This official launch marks Phase 2 of the scheme, with further phases planned to extend the UniVisa to include Angola, Botswana and Namibia (and hopefully the whole of the SADC region.
The UniVisa is available at Harare, Victoria Falls, Lusaka and Livingstone International airports, the Victoria Falls land border (Zimbabwe/Zambia) and the Kazungula land border (Zimbabwe/Zambia/Botswana).
