The Zimbabwean Consulate in Johannesburg, South Africa, has introduced new measures regarding the issuance and use of Temporary Travel Documents.
In a recent statement, the Consulate announced that TTDs will now have a validity period of just one month. Explaining the change, the notice reads:
“The Registrar General’s Office has effected new measures on the validity and entry privileges of Temporary Travel Documents: Temporary Travel Documents will now be issued with a validity period of one (1) month only. Temporary Travel Documents will now permit a single entry to the specified destination, including transit countries, unless otherwise instructed by the Registrar General.”
The Consulate attributed the changes to a growing reliance on TTD renewals over passport applications. The statement further explained: “These changes were necessitated by a worrisome trend, with individuals increasingly opting to renew their Temporary Travel Documents rather than applying for passports. This policy shift aims to encourage citizens to apply for passports that have more secure biometric features and do not have entry restrictions.”
Zimbabwean nationals are urged to take note of these adjustments and ensure compliance.
