Is there a requirement to have a resident director in Zimbabwe?

Yes. There must be one resident director. While the term "resident director" is not defined in the Companies and Other Business Entities Act, a person is considered resident in Zimbabwe under the Citizenship Act [4:01] if they have lawfully and voluntarily established their usual place of residence in Zimbabwe, otherwise than as a visitor, to remain therein. The immigration regulations state that “resident” means any person who is lawfully within Zimbabwe otherwise than for:

• Journeying through Zimbabwe in direct transit from one country to another; or 
• Making a temporary visit.
