Guide last updated September 28, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for the full length of stay (6 months recommended)
  • Digital passport-style photo for the ETA application
  • Confirmed round-trip flight ticket
  • Proof of accommodation booking
  • Proof of sufficient funds (bank statement or credit card)
  • Mandatory travel/health insurance covering the stay, uploaded during the ETA application
  • No in-person biometrics for the ETA; a facial photo is captured on arrival

Visa types

  • Tourist ETA: single entry, valid 90 days from issue, stay up to 90 days, fee about US$40
  • Business ETA: same validity, for short business trips, fee about US$40
  • Long-Stay/Residence Permit: required for longer stays, applied for through the Ministry of National Security, fee varies by category

How to apply online

  • Apply through the official gov.kn ETA portal at least 72 hours before departure
  • Create an account and complete the traveler details form
  • Upload passport bio-page, photo, proof of insurance and accommodation proof
  • Pay the US$40 fee online by card
  • Receive approval by email as a PDF to print and show at check-in and on arrival
  • Most applications are approved within 24-72 hours, occasionally up to 5 business days

Fees & processing time

  • ETA fee: US$40 per applicant, including children
  • No separate VFS/service fee since it is a direct government portal
  • Total cost: approximately US$40
  • Standard processing: 24-72 hours
  • No priority/express option currently offered

Tips for Zambia travelers

  • Apply at least a week ahead, since Zambian-issued bank statements or insurance documents sometimes need manual review, extending processing
  • The most common rejection reasons are a blurry photo upload and missing proof of onward travel
  • There is no Saint Kitts and Nevis mission in Zambia, so all support runs through the online portal's email helpdesk
  • Check the approved ETA email carefully for correct travel dates — changes require a new application and a new fee
