Visa Overview

E-Visa

  • The Zambia eVisa is an electronic visa system that allows eligible travelers to apply online for entry into Zambia without visiting an embassy. It is designed for short-term travel such as tourism, business visits, conferences, family visits, and transit purposes.
  • Applicants complete the process online by filling in personal details, passport information, travel plans, and uploading required supporting documents. After payment of the applicable visa fee and approval by Zambian immigration authorities, the visa is issued electronically.
  • Once approved, the Zambia eVisa is sent via email and must be carried in printed or digital form during travel. It is linked to the traveler’s passport and must be presented at immigration on arrival.
  • The visa validity, number of entries (single or multiple), and permitted stay duration depend on the visa type granted and the decision of Zambia authorities.
  • Even with an approved eVisa, final entry into Zambia is subject to immigration clearance at the port of entry.
