In a statement issued on January 1, 2026, Zambia’s Department of Immigration announced that several visa types have had their fees revised as of that date.
The new fees are as follows:
- Single-entry visa: USD 50 (previously USD 25)
- Double-entry visa: USD 80 (previously USD 40)
- Multiple-entry visa: USD 80 (previously USD 75)
- KAZA Univisa: USD 50 (unchanged)
- Day Tripper visa: USD 10 (unchanged)
Visa applications for Zambia can be submitted online
Travelers wishing to obtain a visa to enter Zambia can submit their application through the government’s online platform at eservices.zambiaimmigration.gov.zm, allowing them to receive an electronic visa (e-Visa).
This revision comes one year after a major overhaul of Zambia’s immigration policy. In December 2024, Zambia removed the visa requirement for 53 nationalities, further opening its borders to both business and leisure travelers.
