Insight: Freedom of Movement and Residence

This section establishes two tiers of movement rights: exclusive rights for citizens (entry, non-expulsion, and travel documents) and broader rights shared by both citizens and legal residents (internal movement, choice of residence, and exit rights). These protections align with international human rights standards but notably don't address the right to return for non-citizens who legally reside in Zimbabwe, which some other constitutions include.
