Zimbabwe Investor Residence Permit
Sells the right to live in the country (a “golden visa”), sometimes leading to citizenship later.
Not set: the only amounts come from a 2012 newspaper article (The Herald) describing Zimbabwe Investment Authority procedures: US$100,000 in a joint venture with a Zimbabwean partner or US$300,000 alone for a three-year permit, and US$1 million for permanent residence. No official text confirms them, and they may be out of date. Fee excluded (US$500).
Notes from the research
The Department of Immigration issues an Investor Residence Permit on a project proposal, banking history and proof of funds available for transfer. Investment thresholds come only from a 2012 Herald article citing Zimbabwe Investment Authority procedures (US$1 million for permanent residence on application; US$300,000 sole venture or US$100,000 joint venture for a three-year residence permit leading to permanent residence); not confirmed in an official text and possibly outdated. The department's current fees page (modified 12 May 2025) charges US$500 for an investor residence permit application and US$1,000 for an investor permanent residence permit; the permits page asks US$500 plus US$300 per dependant. The Immigration Act (Cap. 4:02, 1979, as on the department's website) contains no investor provision; the investor categories presumably rest on the Immigration Regulations (SI 195 of 1998), which could not be read (ZimLII shows a bot check and no archived copy was found), so the start date is not established. No official counts found.

What we know is missing

- 2 not yet read; what remains is listed in the coverage file.
A gap means no figure is in our data: either it was never published or we haven't found or read it yet. Charts leave gaps open rather than drawing across them.
