The Zambia Tourism Agency (formerly Zambia Tourism Board) is pleased to
announce that the Government of the Republic of Zambia through the Ministry of
Home Affairs (Department of Immigration) launched the e-Visa facility on
Wednesday, 14th October, 2015 at Mulungushi International Conference Centre in
Lusaka.
What is an e-Visa?
An e-Visa is an alternative to conventional visas issued by the
Department of Immigration in Zambia (through Headquarters, Ports of Entry and
Zambia Missions) permitting foreigners who require visas to enter Zambia.
Applicants therefore, may obtain their e-Visa approval letter electronically
after submitting required information and payment is made by Cash and Credit or
Debit Card (Master or Visa) at the point of entry.
The link to download your e-Visa is given on the final step where you
will be informed that your application has been completed successfully. In
addition, the same link to download your e-Visa will be emailed to you.
Immigration Officers at Ports of Entry can verify your e-Visa on their system.
However, you are advised to download and keep the hard copy of your e-Visa
Approval Letter.
As in the case with other visas, respective Zambian Officials at the
Port of Entry reserve the right to deny entry into Zambia to a holder of an
e-Visa Approval Letter without any explanation.
