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: No visa required to enter Zambia. No action or fee, except for you to produce your valid passport.

Second Category: Visa on arrival at the airport or border post, or issued at missions abroad (see table at bottom of page). Visa fees applicable.

If you are intending to visit Zimbabwe as well then the KAZA UniVisa is your most economical choice. Read More...


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.

For important updates, be sure to check our NEWSFLASH page.

Passport Requirements

All travelling to Zambia will need:
• Passport valid for a least 6 months from your date of entry
• Return ticket to your country if flying into Zambia
• Sufficient funds to cover your stay
• At least two blank pages in your passport to fit the required entry visa

What Are the Zambia Visa Types?

Single Entry visa allows you to enter Zambia one time. Valid for up to 90 days from date of issue. Once you have used it for an entry and exit, you cannot use it again.

Double Entry visa allows you to enter Zambia twice. Valid for up to 90 days from date of issue. Once you have used it for the two entries and two exits, the visa cannot be used again.

Multiple Entry visa allows for more than two entries into Zambia. Valid for 90 days, except for United States nationals for whom it is valid for up to 3 years.

Day Tripper visa allows single entry for under 24 hours. Valid only at the Kazungula Border (with Botswana) and the Victoria Falls Border (with Zimbabwe). The same port of entry must be used for entry and exit.

Transit visa is for those who are transiting through Zambia using land transport.

How Much is a Zambia Visa?

Visitors coming from countries which need a visa to Zambia will need to pay a fee for their visa when they arrive at the port of entry, whether it is at the land border or at the airport. There are credit card facilities at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (Lusaka), Harry Mwanga International Airport / Livingstone Airport (Livingstone), and at Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe International Airport (Ndola), so that you can use MasterCard, Visa, Maestro and American Express cards to pay for your Zambia visa. There is a small card payment fee when paying with a card (currently 1.1%).

Here is the fee structure for Zambia visas:

Current Zambia Visa Fees**

Single Entry US $25
Double Entry US $40
Transit US $25
Day Tripper US $10
KAZA Univisa US$ 50

**These fees were changed in January 2022. Please read this article for details.
