Chirundu Border

[FransBR]

Just a few notes that might interest travellers new to Chirundu to Exit Zambia, Enter Zimbabwe.


On arrival in the carpark , runners did approach to assist for a fee. We continued without...for now...

Enter the main building and start with Zambia immigration on the right, for a passport stamp .

Moving anti clockwise , next window was Zimbabwe immigration, small paper to fill in , passport stamped...and obtain Gate Pass.

Next was Zambia Interpol, around the corner of the Zambia Immigration window ,down the corridor , first office was Revenue Collection ( later), second office Interpol... Simple stamp on the Private Vehicle Verification document...and Gate Pass...no issues.

Next door office was Zimbabwe Interpol , same stamp on the PVV and Gate Pass.

Back to the first office in corridor, Revenue Collection, received REF NUMBER for $ 10 road tax, $10 carbon tax , $ 30 insurance. Now walk back to find the Cashier , and pay the $50. Then back to Revenue Collection with Receipt...AND back to Zimbabwe Interpol for final Gate Pass stamp.

All good to go , 35 minutes flat in and out, really not a big issue.

One more stop...we still had the IBDF form for Zambia, which needed to be handed in to finally exit Zambia....this is handed in at small office on the right , as you exit the carpark , down a small ramp next to what looked like a workshop shed....really weird place the runners pointed out to us for a small fee.

And that was that.....onto Zimbabwe.

When we exited through Plumtree in Zimbabwe , we had to produce the T.I.P received from Zimbabwe at Chirundu and on the Botswana side the T.I.P received at Kazungula.
