Visas for Zimbabwe
Anyone get the E-Visas using Tauck's recommendation to apply online using the www.evisa.gov.zw site?
I have tried several times and unfortunately keep getting an error that they cannot process my payment. I would prefer not to apply and pickup upon arrival.
Any thoughts/ feedback would be greatly appreciated.

For everyone trying to get their VISAs for Zimbabwe - here is the latest info as of this date 7/14/2025:
1) Spoke with Tauck Journey Preparation Team today and they said they were getting numerous reports from travelers having a similar issue and suggested that I try calling the Zimbabwe Embassy directly in DC number (202) 332-7100
2) After calling and speaking to someone at the Embassy they informed me that the E-VISA pay request and payment before you arrive is no longer working and that I should just get my VISA UPON Arrival. Per their instructions when you arrive in Livingston Airport there will be a designated line to get VISA upon arrival and you give the customs person your passport, pay a fee of $55 USD CASH for a Multi Entry VISA and Customs Agent will stamp/ give you the correct paperwork for travel in/out of Zambia.
3) I called Tauck back and gave them this information in case any other guests inquired.
I hope this saves others needless effort trying to figure this out!
We just went on the website which indicates $45 per visa. As others have indicated the eVISA online process is effective to receive the QR code. The payment process online is not functional. I am curious whether they charging more to complete the process in person. We will begin this trip at the end of August.
We returned from this trip a week ago. If you are not able to pay the eVisa online, you can print out the paperwork and scoot ahead of the line and pay at one of the booths when you arrive in Zimbabwe. Easy peasy.
We ran into the same visa issue in Bali several years ago at the Denpasar Airport. We stood in a very fast moving line and paid our US $25 for the visa stamp to be able to enter the country. Quick and easy!
