In our last article, (The requirements for a Civil Marriage of a Zimbabwean intending to marry a Foreign national);we listed a Marriage Clearance from the Immigration Department of Zimbabwe as one of the requirements. We discuss below the procedure for applying and obtaining the immigration clearance for marriage between a Zimbabwean and a foreign national.
- Application Letter addressed to the Chief Director of Immigration, from the Zimbabwean spouse requesting the marriage clearance certificate in respect of the foreign spouse.
- Certified copy of the National Identity document from the Zimbabwean spouse.
- Certified copy of Non-marriage certificate, in respect of the Zimbabwean spouse issued by the Registrar General within the last six (6) months.
- Certified copy of Passport in respect of the foreign spouse.
- Certified copy of Proof of lawful stay/entry in Zimbabwe (foreign spouse)Authenticated Police Clearance in respect of the foreign spouse issued by authorities from country of origin/last permanent residence.
- Authenticated Non-marriage certificate in respect of the foreign spouse issued by authorities from country of origin or last permanent residence.
