James Dean of Aylesbury Road, Boscombe, met former hospital finance manager Juanita, from South Africa, on the internet.
The couple, both 52, celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary thousands of miles apart on April 29 this year.
Initially Mr Dean lived with Juanita in Kimberley but moved to Dorset to prepare for Juanita to join him.
He says they have spent thousands in their fight to gain a three-year settlement visa and were shocked when she was turned down.
He said: “It appears that there is nothing anybody can do to bring her out.
“It makes my blood boil. I am totally at a loss where to go.”
Juanita lives with her brother on a farm but racial violence in the area means she must carry a gun at all times said Mr Dean.
“When Nelson Mandela dies, they are going to have another Zimbabwe. I don’t care how they get her here, I just want her here,” he said.
