Tips for Zambia travelers

  • Submit the SG Arrival Card within the 3-day window, since some airlines check for it before boarding
  • Carry proof of funds and onward travel, as immigration occasionally does secondary checks
  • There is no Singaporean mission in Zambia — pre-trip queries go to the Singapore High Commission in South Africa or online via ICA
  • Request any extension at ICA well before day 30 to avoid overstay fines
