Tips for Zambia travelers

  • Carry proof of a confirmed return ticket and accommodation, as officers may request them despite the visa exemption
  • Register any extended stay with the Passport and Immigration Office well before the 90-day period lapses
  • Overstaying can lead to fines or future entry difficulties, so track the entry stamp date carefully
  • Business travelers attending conferences should carry an invitation letter even though no visa is required
  • Confirm any updated health entry requirements (e.g. vaccination certificates) before departure
