Processing times vary by permit type. A standard work permit typically takes 6–12 weeks through the Zimbabwe Department of Immigration. With Nova Migration's fast-track service, we can often reduce this timeline significantly through proactive follow-up and relationship management.
It depends on your nationality. Citizens of many African countries and some Commonwealth nations may enter visa-free. Most other nationalities require a visa on arrival or a pre-arranged visa. Nova Migration will assess your nationality and advise the most appropriate route.
Absolutely. Our Corporate Retainer service is designed for exactly this purpose. We become your outsourced immigration department — managing all permits, renewals, and compliance for your entire Zimbabwe-bound workforce, typically under a single monthly fee.
Typically: a valid passport (6+ months validity), a completed visa application form, a passport photograph, proof of accommodation in Zimbabwe, a letter from your employer or company confirming the purpose and duration of your visit, and the applicable fee. Nova Migration provides a tailored checklist based on your specific circumstances.
We act as the outsourced immigration department for companies sending employees to Zimbabwe — reducing risk, saving time, and ensuring full compliance.
