visa (see the Do
I need a visa? page, then one must
obtain a visa either at the port of
entry or at a Zambian Mission abroad.

contains visa guidelines for different
types of visitors. Each visitor to
Zambia must determine the main purpose
of their visit . This will determine
what sort of visa one needs, and where
to obtain this visa.

Country" chart at bottom of this page)
have specific rules that supersede the
guidelines below.

has determined the purpose of one's
visit to Zambia and understand the basic
guidelines, one can proceed to the

much one must pay for a visa upon
application.
