Zimbabwe Visa for Spanish Citizens
Spanish citizens need a visa to visit Zimbabwe. The single-entry tourist visa costs $30 and is available on arrival at major airports and border posts, or in advance through the e-Visa portal at evisa.gov.zw. If your itinerary includes Zambia as well, the KAZA UniVisa ($50) covers both countries for 30 days with multiple crossings, which is the best option for experiencing both sides of Victoria Falls. Zimbabwe rewards visitors with incredible wildlife in Hwange, World Heritage-listed Mana Pools, and the thundering Victoria Falls. An e-Visa application before travel is recommended for a smoother arrival experience.
