• An official proof of address or extract issued by your local municipality/commune (e.g., from local government).

• A valid driver’s license showing your current residential address.

• A bank statement displaying your name and address.

• A rental or lease contract. Proof of Rresidence (from abroad) A valid local visa or residence permit for the country you are currently applying from.

Hotel/accommodation bookings or entry/exit stamps in your passport if permitted by the specific embassy handling your application. Kuala Lumpar is not the easiest one so this could be refused

Where did you apply?

I'm also Zimbabwean. I applied for 3 tourist visas and they all got rejected in Kuala Lumpur. I had to ask my employer to get me a Non-B visa, and I just got it approved. If you previously had a different visa—especially a Non-B—they are rejecting a lot of tourist visas in KL recently
