About

Any foreigner seeking to take up residence employment in Zimbabwe is required to hold a valid work permit. Regulations allow local companies to employ foreigners under temporary work permits. These work permits are issued by the Department of Immigration upon an application by the company which is considered by the Foreign Recruitment Committee. The guiding condition is that the company should provide proof that the required skill cannot be sourced within Zimbabwe.
