Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The United Kingdom government on Tuesday 28 June 2022 issued a travel advisory to individuals intending to travel from the UK to Zimbabwe and or vice versa. The advisory urged those going to Zimbabwe to avoid political gatherings and to check with Zimbabwe\u2019s COVID-19 regulations. Pindula News presents the advisory below:<\/p>\n

Update to information on exiting Zimbabwe and returning to the UK (\u2018Coronavirus\u2019 page)<\/p>\n

COVID-19 entry restrictions for Zimbabwe<\/p>\n

Before you travel, check the \u2018Entry requirements\u2019 section for Zimbabwe\u2019s current entry restrictions and requirements. These may change with little warning. Monitor this advice for the latest updates and stay in contact with your travel provider.<\/p>\n

Travelling from and returning to the UK<\/p>\n

Check what you must do to travel abroad and return to England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

If you plan to pass through another country to return to the UK, check the travel advice for the country you\u2019re transiting.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning travel to Zimbabwe, find out what you need to know about coronavirus there in the Coronavirus section.<\/p>\n

During the COVID-19 pandemic it is more important than ever to get travel insurance and check your cover. See the FCDO\u2019s guidance on foreign travel insurance.<\/p>\n

For information about COVID-19 vaccines, see the Coronavirus page.<\/p>\n

You should avoid any political gatherings or demonstrations. These can be unpredictable, can turn violent without notice and the response from the security forces may be disproportionate. You should exercise a high degree of caution and monitor local media and this travel advice for updates.<\/p>\n

Taking photographs of police, armed forces personnel, government buildings and of demonstrations and protests is not permitted. You should avoid political activity, or activities which could be considered political, including political discussions in public places. Ensure you carry identification, so that you can produce it if required to do so by the security forces. See Political situation<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe\u2019s economic situation remains unpredictable. Whilst the primary legal tender in Zimbabwe is the \u201cZimbabwe Dollar\u201d, it is currently possible for tourists to transact using the US Dollar at the official exchange rate. This may change without notice. There is a shortage of physical cash so it is not always possible to make cash withdrawals using an international bank card. You should check with your tour operator or hotel what payment methods will be accepted. See Money<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe is currently experiencing some electricity shortages resulting in extended periods without power. During blackouts, you should exercise a high degree of caution when driving as traffic lights may not be operational. Water rationing is being experienced in certain parts of the country. Contact your tour operator or hotel for latest updates.<\/p>\n

Availability of fuel can be unreliable. Payment is usually made in cash; most filling stations do not accept international cards. See Road travel<\/p>\n

There is a moderate level of crime in Zimbabwe. Remain vigilant, especially after dark, and make sure accommodation and vehicles are secure. See Safety and security<\/p>\n

Always carry identity documentation or a copy of your passport. See Local laws and customs<\/p>\n

Holiday and business visas are available at the port of entry. Violations of visa conditions can lead to arrest. See Visas<\/p>\n

Dual British-Zimbabwean nationals who travel to Zimbabwe must have a valid travel document to re-enter the United Kingdom. It\u2019s not possible to re-enter the UK using a Zimbabwean passport or a Zimbabwe Temporary Travel document without a visa or entry clearance endorsed. See Dual nationals<\/p>\n

Air Zimbabwe has been refused permission to operate flights to the EU because the airline has been unable to demonstrate that it complies with international air safety standards. British government employees travelling to and within Zimbabwe have been advised to use carriers that aren\u2019t subject to the EU operating ban. See Air travel<\/p>\n

Although there\u2019s no recent history of terrorism in Zimbabwe, attacks can\u2019t be ruled out. See Terrorism<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re abroad and you need emergency help from the UK government, contact the nearest British embassy, consulate or high commission.<\/p>\n
