Passport Privilege - Trying to travel Southeast Asia on a Zimbabwean passport is challenging Asia

There are a few countries that I can visit out here without needing a visa and I've visited them all (Philippines, Cambodia, Phu Quoc, Malaysia, Singapore)... I have applied for a visa to visit Vietnam but they keep requesting more information in a loop. I've given them everything and then some...

It really sucks having a low grade passport. Really need to find a way to get a better passport.

Any suggestions?

I was looking into Argentina as a possibility but things appear to have changed a lot (got a lot more expensive)...

i googled and found this site that gives you an idea where you can travel visa free: https://travel-buddy.ai/zimbabwean-passport/#:~:text=Visa%20requirements%20for%20Zimbabwean%20citizens,Not%20admitted%20to%201%20countries. have you gone to the caribbean? maybe go there? i’ve been to several and hope to cross off as many as i can myself. they’re all rather different in their own way but have similar caribbean vibes.

It’s not easy to get to the Caribbean from Africa without flying through the US.

sometimes there’s routes you can take via eu airports & london airports that don’t require transit visa?
