Application from outside of Zimbabwe

If you are unable to go to Zimbabwe, the application forms can be obtained through your nearest consulate or embassy. To apply for a new Zimbabwean passport from South Africa, arrange an appointment with the Zimbabwean Consulate in either Cape Town or Johannesburg. You transmit the forms to Zimbabwe, where a relative submits them on your behalf. Applicants have been granted the new e-passport from the beginning of April, albeit the Zimbabwe Consulate in South Africa has emphasised that you must be physically present.

 

Is it possible to apply for a Zimbabwean e-passport online?

You cannot apply for an e-passport online at the time. You can, however, set an appointment online and then head to Makombe New Complex, Leopold Takawira Street, Harare, to begin your application procedure. This implies you should be in Zimbabwe on the day of the appointment.

 

What is the cost of the e-passport?

The e-passport is $120, which includes the application charge. This is for a passport valid for 48 hours. The 7-day passport costs $220, however South African applicants received their passports exactly 21 days after submitting their applications.

 

At the time of writing, only Harare and Bulawayo can issue e-passports, but by the end of June, all provinces should be able to do so.

If you applied for an e-passport, please tell us about your experience.

 

 

In South Africa, where can I obtain a Zimbabwean passport?

At the Zimbabwean consulate in South Africa, you may apply for a new Zimbabwean passport. There are two Zimbabwean consulates, one in Cape Town and one in Johannesburg, and you must select the one closest to you.

Furthermore, the expense of applying for a Zimbabwean passport is prohibitively high for many low-income asylum applicants. An standard passport application costs $53 (R640), an urgent application costs $253 (R3,050), and a 24-hour passport application costs $315 (R3,800).

 

In Zimbabwe 2022, how long does it take to obtain a passport?

Ordinary passports are issued within 7 working days of application, whereas emergency e-passports are issued within 3 days.
