Choose the correct entry product
A single-entry visa has a one-month validity window, double-entry three months and multiple-entry six months. These are visa validity periods, not a promise of that much permitted stay.
Official guidanceCheck the period granted at entry
Zimbabwe's regulations require a visitor who wants to stay beyond the period stated at arrival to report in person to an Immigration Officer. Six months is not a standard stay allowance: a visitor cannot remain longer than six months without permission from the Chief Immigration Officer.
