Spouse residence permit in Zimbabwe.

The permit allows its owner to enter and remain in Zimbabwe until the permit expires. However, if the application is submitted for the first time and a successful applicant requires a visa to enter Zimbabwe, such a person must still apply for a visa to enter the country in order to obtain a permit.

The spouse permission is issued to the wife of a Zimbabwean citizen; a permanent resident who has a certificate of permanent resident status and the owner of the residence permit.
