Most visas are issued to cover the duration of your trip up to a maximum of 90 days. In all cases and for every member of your group, please consult your nearest embassy or consulate as the most reliable source of current regulations. Bear in mind you may need to produce supporting documentation that takes a long time to source and therefore we recommend you ascertain your visa requirements before you even book your trip.
Please note: while we can furnish you with supporting documents for your visa application, we cannot provide or substantiate visa advice or services. This is due to the large administrative and legal burden of staying current with visa requirements for nationals from every country for each of the countries in the sub-continent.

As of August 2021, the government in Botswana has officially launched an online visa application platform. This means that foreign citizens who previously needed to apply for a visa to travel to Botswana, can now do this online. Travellers can now log onto the portal to create an application, make payment, complete the visa application and upload all supporting documents as well as check the visa status.
Click here to apply for your Botswana eVisa.
The eVisa costs BWP 300 (approx. USD 25) for a single entry valid for up to one month and BWP 500 (approx. USD 40) for multiple entries valid for up to three months. The visa in non-refundable and payment does not guarantee approval.

To help streamline and speed up immigration procedures, the Zimbabwe Immigration Department has introduced a new electronic arrival form, now in use at ports of entry including Victoria Falls Airport. This is not an online visa, but a digital version of the manual entry form traditionally filled in on arrival.
Travellers from visa-on-arrival countries are strongly encouraged to complete the form before travel—whether from home, the office or on the go—to reduce processing time at the border. A Wi-Fi connection is required to access and submit the form online. If completed in advance, there is no need to fill in a physical form on arrival.
For those unable to complete the form before travelling, it can still be submitted at the port of entry, either online (subject to Wi-Fi availability) using personal devices, or with the help of immigration officials who will provide access to a tablet or computer. Alternatively, a paper form will be available to complete manually.
As this digital system is being phased in, the paper form will remain in use for the time being to accommodate travellers without access to online tools. It is also recommended that travellers take a screenshot of the completed online form to show as proof, in case of network issues on arrival.
Visa costs remain unchanged:
Important: airlines may refuse passage if you don't have the correct visa in your passport and we cannot be held liable for damages resulting from incomplete travel documents. For more information please see our Terms and Conditions.
