On behalf of the Embassy and its entire team, as well as the Trade Offices based in Johannesburg and Luanda, I would like to welcome you to our website. We hope it will be useful and that this page will serve as a virtual bridge between Spain, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi.
My team and I work to develop relations between these three countries and Spain, promoting and projecting the values and interests of Spain and putting the the needs of Spanish citizens at the center of our activity. We wish, through this page, to keep our doors open. We encourage you to visit it and explore its contents and to help us improve it with your suggestions.
Here you will find information on consular procedures, visa procedures, travel recommendations, emergency notices, as well as our cultural, political, economic and cooperation activities in Zimbabwe.
We invite you to also visit our twitter page (https://twitter.com/embespzimbabwe) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/EmbEspZimbabwe/).
You can also contact us by email emb.harare@maec.es.
