Zambia Passport & Visa Requirements

Zambia Visa Requirements 

British citizens don’t need a visa to visit Zambia, but you must be able to show valid return or onward tickets and that you have enough money for your stay. Tourists can stay in the country for up to 90 days in any 12-month period.

Those who want to travel between Zambia and Zimbabwe, and take day trips into Botswana, can get a KAZA UNIVISA. This visa can be used in the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area. It costs 50 US dollars and is valid for 30 days. You can either apply online or get the visa on arrival if you’re flying into the Kenneth Kaunda International Airport or Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport. If entering by land, you can get the visa in Livingstone (at the Zambia-Zimbabwe border) or at Kazungula (at the Zambia-Botswana border).

Passport Validity for Zambia Travel 

Your passport must be valid for at least six months from the date you arrive in Zambia and have at least two blank pages. Make sure your passport is stamped on arrival.
