Immigration (Amendment) Regulations, 2026 (No. 4)

Kasambabezi Border Post is added to the list of designated ports of entry in the Immigration Regulations, alongside Victoria Falls.

A one-line amendment with a practical consequence for travellers in the north-west. Kasambabezi Border Post is inserted as item 5 in paragraph A of Part III of the First Schedule to the Immigration Regulations, 1998, immediately after Victoria Falls Border Post.

Being listed in that Schedule is what makes a place a designated port of entry: immigration officers are stationed there, and travellers may lawfully enter and leave Zimbabwe through it. Kasambabezi is the crossing at the Zambezi between Zimbabwe and Zambia in the Victoria Falls area.

The amendment does nothing else. It does not state operating hours, the categories of traveller or goods that may use the post, or a commencement date beyond its gazetting on 20 March 2026.
