An e-Visa is an official document permitting entry into and travel within Zambia. It is an alternative to visas issued at Zambia missions and at the ports of entry. Upon arrival at the Port of entry, you are expected to present your passport and your visa approval letter.

Depending on your nationality and the purpose of the visit there may be additional requirements but the essential requirements we need you to provide us are:

• Passport with at least 6-month validity
• Hotel Booking / Accommodation Confirmation
• Return Flight Ticket
• Passport Sized Photo (Digital)
• A scanned copy of passport bio page
• Cover Letter addressed to the Director General of Immigration. It needs to be signed and dated, and contain the dates and purpose of travel, and where the applicant is staying while in Zambia.

The e-Visa is valid for 90 days from issue. This means you must enter Zambia within 90 days of issuance.

The cost of the Zambia e-Visa varies depending on the number of entries you choose. A single-entry e-Visa costs 51 USD while a double and multiple-entry e-Visa costs 81 USD. Additionally, there is a service fee of 25 USD for standard processing. For rush and super rush processing, the service fee is 65 USD and 85 USD respectively.

It depends on the processing time you choose. We offer three options:

1. Standard Processing: 3 business days
2. Rush Processing: 2 business days

No. Since the e-Visa is valid for 3 months from the issued date, you must enter Zambia on any date within this period. Failure to enter within this period renders your e-Visa invalid and thus you will you will have to make a new application.

However, if your travel plans do change, as long as your arrival date is still within the 90 days validity period, you will not have to obtain a new e-Visa.
