Hello! A few questions about crossing the SA/Zimbabwe border at Beitbridge.
- Can I pay for Zim visa in SA Rand? Or can I use a Visa credit card?
- If travelling on a direct bus between Joburg and Masvingo do I need to get my visa in advance or can i buy at the border
- How much is the visa for a Canadian?

Thanks so much!
Carrie

You can pay for the visa in Rands or USD. But it wise to move around with USD. Credit card machines arent that used a lot, you can get cash out of a ATM though.
You can get the visa at beitbridge but its always safer to get it before you travel. Visas are anything from $50 to $100.

Visas for Canadians are more expensive than many other countries at 75 US. I'd bring the exact change in clean/nice looking US bills just to be safe. You never know who you'll get at the border. double check the price with the embassy.
