There are few restrictions on employing foreign workers in Zimbabwe. The Immigration Act and the Immigration Regulations from 1998 are the main laws covering this.
A company that wants to hire non-citizens needs to be registered locally in Zimbabwe first. Then, it can start the process of getting work permits for the international employees it wants to hire.
Before a foreigner can legally work in Zimbabwe, they have to get a temporary employment permit. The employer must apply for the Principal Director of Immigration on behalf of the worker.
When you apply for a work permit, you've got to provide two copies of certain documents. You'll need proof you have enough money, a couple of passport photos, certified copies of your degrees or diplomas, a certified copy of your birth certificate, and a radiological certificate that's no more than five years old. There's also a statutory fee you have to pay that's non-refundable.
