How to get a KAZA Univisa?

8/27/2017 4:43:30 PM

As of August 2017, the KAZA Univisa is once again operational

Following a successful pilot, the KAZA Univisa has been reinstated to allow holders unlimited access to both Zambia and Zimbabwe for 30 days, as well as limited day trip access to the Kazungula region of Botswana. (The UK travel guidelines have been updated to further confirm this)

According to the official website, permits can be obtained in person at the following locations by people with eligible passports (listed in the link), for a fee of 50 USD:

In Zambia:

  • Harry Mwaanga Airport (Livingstone)
  • Victoria Falls Land Border –
  • Kazungula Land Border (border with Botswana)
  • Kenneth Kaunda Airport (Lusaka)

In Zimbabwe:

  • Victoria Falls Airport
  • Victoria Falls Land Border
  • Kazungula Land Border (border with Botswana)
  • Harare Airport

The Univisa program is inactive, get regular visa for both countries.

Consular info for Zambia from gov.uk

The Kaza UNIVISA is temporarily suspended until further notice. If you’re planning to travel between Livingstone, Zambia and Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, you’ll need to apply for a visa for each of the countries.

Same for Zimbabwe

The UNIVISA system (which allowed travellers to enter both Zimbabwe and Zambia using a dual visa) is currently suspended. If you’re travelling between Zimbabwe and Zambia (more than one entry either way), you should get a double entry visa for both countries. Both Zimbabwe and Zambia issue double entry visas at ports of entry.

The UNIVISA system is currently suspended. If travelling between Zimbabwe and Zambia more than once either way, you should get a double entry visa […]

There is a related discussion on a tripadvisor forum and reports are that the program is suspended from posts as late as May and June 2016, which however still precede the article you cite. To be honest I doubt your source somewhat, since it is an investment website for Zambia and seems to me they copied some official blabla without checking much, but that’s just my two cents.
