Zimbabwe is modernizing its border control processes by expanding its digital immigration system to allow travelers from visa-required countries to apply for visas online.
The Online Border Management System (OBMS), introduced in 2024, aims to simplify entry procedures, boost tourism and investment, and enhance security while reducing congestion at ports of entry.
The digital platform replaces outdated manual procedures with a secure online system for visa and permit applications, aligning with global travel trends and improving efficiency. According to officials, the move will not only reduce application costs and delays for travelers but also provide a more streamlined experience.
By embracing digital transformation, Zimbabwe is positioning itself as a more accessible and attractive destination for tourists and investors alike. The OBMS is a significant step towards a more efficient and secure border control process, reflecting the country’s commitment to leveraging technology for economic growth and development.
