The application is very easy to fill and to submit ! The only think I want to suggest is to give before starting by filling the form, the list of the different papers to provid.
Thanks a lot for such a great help in receiving Zambian Visa! It was fast and staff was very helpful.
I APPRECIATE THE EASE OF USE OF THE WEBSITE & RESPONSE TIME WHETHER VIA EMAIL OR CHAT WITH ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS.
I love you guys are the best safe my money and I got my evisa at the comfort of My home , now am starting to prepare my journey and pack my bags
With rge fees we expected better customer services but the officers are just requesting random documents without explaining and reassuring us. Fortunately I got my visa.
Easy to use and with the annual fee it saves lots and lots of mone
I thought iVisa would facilitate my application for KAZA visas for a trip to Zambia. It was not clear to me that this would not deliver the actual visas, but just submit standard health declaration forms to the Zambian Government, which in fact I could have done myself online without paying for help from iVisa. The misunderstanding is mine but I think iVisa, whose website is cheerful but pushy, needs to be much clearer about what it can actually offer for a particular visa application.
Absolutely amazing clientel,dedicated to help and so professional ,on time and customer service always there to assist .this is number one agency for visa application I have ever come across to and they are the real deal thanks
My experience is wonderful. You very efficient in discharge of your duty
They are really a big Help in Need. They were immediately available when I needed help. And responded very fast on my message and my question!
Zambia visa FAQs
What travelers commonly ask about Zambia visas.
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do I need a visa for Zambia?
Zambia recently expanded its visa-exempt list. Citizens of the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, China, South Korea, and the EU do NOT need a visa for tourism. If you are from a non-exempt country (Category B or C), you must apply for an eVisa or obtain one on arrival. Check our visa checker to confirm your specific status.
How will I receive the Zambia eVisa?
You will receive an eVisa approval letter as a PDF via email. Unlike some other eVisas, you must print a physical copy of this letter. Digital copies on phones are often rejected by immigration officers. If you applied through iVisa, you'll also find a copy of your PDF in your dashboard.
How long can I stay in Zambia?
Tourists are generally permitted to stay for a total of 90 days per 12-month period. Business visitors are now also permitted up to 90 days in a rolling 12-month period.
What is the "Cover Letter" requirement?
Unlike many countries, Zambia requires a cover letter for every application. It must be addressed to the "Director General of Immigration," explain your visit, and be manually signed by you.
Can I extend my stay in Zambia?
You can extend your stay in Zambia by visiting any local Department of Immigration office in person to request an extension of your initial entry stamp. Tourists are permitted to stay for a total of 90 days within a 12-month period, and while the first 30 days are typically granted upon entry, you can apply for two additional 30-day extensions for free. You should submit your request at least five days before your current status expires.
Do children/minors need a Zambia eVisa?
Yes. Every traveler, regardless of age, must have their own approved visa. For minors, you may be required to provide a birth certificate and a letter of consent if they are traveling with only one parent or a legal guardian. You can use iVisa's "Add another person" feature to manage the entire family's applications in one go.
What happens if my Zambia eVisa application is rejected?
The most common reasons for rejection are blurry passport scans or incorrect personal information that doesn't match the passport. If your application is rejected, iVisa can help you identify the specific issue and assist with a re-application.
