Last update: 4th October 2024 The government of Zambia requires that certain nationalities obtain a visa for entry into Zambia. Here, you will find out of you need a Zambia visa, how to get one, how much it will cost, and the types of visas there are. What Are the Zambia Visa Categories?There are 3 categories which we will list here for people who want to visit Zambia as tourist: First Category: Category to enter Zambia. No action or fee, except for you to produce your valid passport. Second Category: Category at the airport or border post, or issued at missions abroad (see table at bottom of page). Visa fees applicable. Third Category: Referred visa is required before travelling to Zambia. Issued at missions abroad in home country or in a neighbouring country. An easier way is to apply through Zambia's eVisa website. Payment is made online during the application process. An email confirmation letter will be sent if the application is approved, and this is used to obtain a visa in the passport on arrival at the port of entry.
