Zambia Tourist Visa
If you are headed to Zambia on tourism, you might need to get a Tourist Visa depending on what country you are from.
As mentioned here at the Zambia Department of Immigration, tourist visas are issued to foreigners traveling to Zambia as an individual or group of people on a tour through a foreign tour operator or travel agent in conjunction with a local tour operator.
There are two categories of tourists who enter Zambia:
- Tourists that can get a visa upon entry
- Tourists that must get a referral before entering the country
Keep reading because I have more on this below.
Go to my Zambia visa page for information on other types of visas for Zambia.
Visa required for U.S. citizens before you go to Zambia: No.
- A single-entry visa can be obtained at the port of entry.
- You are going to need to apply in advance at a Zambian Embassy or consulate for a multiple-entry visa.
Visa required for non-U.S. citizens before you go to Zambia:
- If you are on this list, you DO NOT need to get a visa in order to enter Zambia.
