How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

An Immigration Officer may, in his discretion, endorse (or refuse to endorse) the passport of an alien who has entered Zimbabwe and is not domiciled there. The alien's permit authorises the holder, subject to the Act and regulations, to enter and remain or to remain in Zimbabwe. The Chief Immigration Officer may cancel it for any reason he considers sufficient, including breach of a condition. A fee is payable. The official source does not state the permit's validity period or any path to longer-term or independent status.

Limits of the record

  • No route from the alien's permit to a longer-term or independent status is stated.
