In a bid to strengthen ties with African nations, Russia has been actively working to establish visa-free travel arrangements with several countries in recent years. Russian citizens can now travel visa-free to Tunisia, Morocco, Cape Verde, Gambia, Sao Tome and Principe, Angola, Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, Mozambique, and more.

A visa-free travel agreement between Russia and Zimbabwe aimed at boosting passenger traffic between the two countries is being considered and could be signed on the sidelines of the fifth meeting of the bilateral Intergovernmental Commission in Moscow on November 5-7, Russian Ambassador to Zimbabwe Nikolay Krasilnikov told Russian media.
Currently, a single entry visa to Zimbabwe can now be obtained at the border for a fee of $30. While passenger traffic between Russia and Zimbabwe remains low due to limited flight options and high ticket prices, Zimbabwe expressed interest in attracting Russian tourists with its developed tourism infrastructure, particularly in Victoria Falls.
