What is the Zambia e-Visa?

The e-Visa to Zambia is an official electronic visa implemented by the government to enable eligible travelers to enter Zambia.

There are several types of Zambia online visas that enable single, double, or multiple entry to the country, each valid for 90 days.

Besides, it's possible to apply for a transit visa for a 7-day layover in Zambia or KAZA UNIVISA that allows entry to Zimbabwe and Zambia for up to 30 days.

To get an online visa to Zambia, travelers must complete the simple process electronically: fill in the form, upload documents, and cover the fee.

The whole procedure may be done on our website, Passporta. The experts will check the visa thoroughly.

The Zambian eVisa can be used for tourism, business, or transit. It is a convenient alternative to visas issued at Zambia's missions or ports of entry, as the procedure is conducted online.

Zambia e-Visa Requirements

During the application process for an online visa to Zambia, travelers generally need to prepare travel documents valid for at least 6 months from the intended date of entry.

However, more files may be needed depending on the nationality and Zambia visa type.

How to Apply for a Zambia e-Visa?

The application for electronic visas to Zambia on Passporta requires preparing a working device with an internet connection and following a few steps:

  1. Start the process by clicking on the "Apply Online" button.
  2. Fill in the form with accurate and up-to-date information.
  3. Check if all the provided details are correct.
  4. Upload the necessary documents, including a copy of a valid passport.

When the Zambia e-Visa is successfully approved, the traveler will receive an email with further instructions.

It's recommended to keep the e-Visa authorization letter to Zambia as a soft copy on the mobile device and a hard copy in case of problems with the digital system.

Zambia e-Visa Validity and Period of Stay

Generally, the Zambia e-Visa, including single, double, and multiple-entry permits, has a validity of 3 months (from the approval date).

A transit visa is issued for 7 days, and KAZA UNIVISA enables a 30-day stay within the 12-month validity period (as long as the traveler remains within Zimbabwe and Zambia).

e-Visa to Zambia – Processing Time

The e-Visa to Zambia may be processed by the government within 3 to 5 working days. However, travelers should apply earlier for their permits, as the period may be prolonged, depending on the number of submissions or type of visa.

Also, additional time may be required as our experts will check if the details on a Zambian e-Visa are correct.
