Zambia By Activity

Additional Information

Visa Requirements

UK passport holders require a visa to enter Zambia. You must have a passport which is valid for a minimum period of 6 months from the date of entry into Zambia, and which has 2 blank pages.

Visas can be obtained before travel from the Zambian High Commision or on arrival. Please note that while single and double entry tourist visas are available on arrival, multi-entry visas are not. If purchasing your visa on arrival you should carry the correct amount of money in USD – change may not be given.

It is also now possible to apply for an evisa for entry to Zambia. The application process can be completed entirely online and does not require you to send your passport in the post or to visit the embassy. Turnaround is typically within 7 days, but we recommend applying 30 days in advance in case you encounter any issues with your application. For more detail, visit the Zambian evisa website.

A KAZA Univisa is available at Zambian airports, and Zimbabwean land borders. This means that tourists can visit both countries, plus day trips to Botswana, while holding only one valid visa. The visa applies to all countries that currently require visas for both countries (including the UK). It costs $50 and is valid for 30 days.

If you are travelling via South Africa, please be sure to check their entry requirements too.

We recommend you double check visa requirements before travel as requirements can change.

Non-UK passport holders: please consult your embassy or consulate in your home country for the latest advice on visas and entry requirements.
