Zambia Visa for Andorran Citizens: Visa-Free Rules

Andorran citizens do not need a visa for short tourist visits to Zambia. The exemption has applied since 1 January 2025. Travelers must still hold a qualifying passport, show onward travel when requested and comply with the period authorized by the immigration officer.

Requirement	Current rule
Visa required	No
Visa fee	USD 0
Application	Not required
Tourist stay	Up to 90 days in a 12-month period
Passport validity	At least six months from entry
Blank pages	At least three full pages
Return ticket	Required for air arrivals
Yellow fever certificate	Conditional on travel route

Do Andorran citizens need a visa for Zambia?

Andorran citizens holding ordinary passports do not need a visa for short visits to Zambia. Andorra joined Zambia’s visa-exempt list on 1 January 2025 under Statutory Instrument No. 78 of 2024. Travelers therefore pay no visa fee, although entry remains subject to immigration approval.

This exemption replaces older advice describing Andorrans as eligible for a visa on arrival. The Zambia Department of Immigration is the controlling source.

Visa-free status permits eligible visits but does not authorize employment, study or residence.

Zambia entry requirements for Andorran passport holders

An Andorran traveler needs a passport valid for at least six months from the entry date, with at least three full blank pages. Air passengers should also carry a valid return or onward ticket, accommodation details and evidence of sufficient funds for the planned stay.

Prepare:

• An original Andorran passport
• A return or onward ticket
• Hotel or host details
• Proof of sufficient travel funds
• A yellow fever certificate when applicable

An Andorran identity card cannot replace a passport. Zambia’s official arrival guidance confirms the passport validity and blank-page rules.

How long can Andorran citizens stay in Zambia?

Andorran tourists may stay for a total of up to 90 days during the 12 months beginning on their first entry date. Immigration may grant only part of this allowance initially, so travelers must follow the date recorded in their passport rather than assume 90 consecutive days.

Extensions within the 90-day allowance are available free of charge at the nearest immigration office. Apply before the authorized stay expires.

Remaining beyond 90 visitor days normally requires a Visiting Permit. Business activities, employment and study may require different permissions. See the official visitor rules for the applicable category.

How to enter Zambia without a visa

Visa-free entry requires no online application or approval letter. Travelers present their Andorran passport and supporting documents directly to an immigration officer. The officer verifies eligibility, asks about the visit and stamps the passport with the authorized period of stay.

1. Check the passport’s validity and blank pages.
2. Carry onward travel and accommodation details.
3. Present the documents at border control.
4. Check the entry stamp before leaving the counter.

The stamped date controls the lawful stay. Request a correction immediately if the stamp is unclear or inconsistent with the itinerary.

The immigration officer confirms the stay permitted at entry.

Is a Zambia eVisa required for Andorran citizens?

A Zambia eVisa is not required for an Andorran ordinary-passport holder making an eligible visa-free visit. Applying through the government portal or a commercial visa service creates unnecessary costs and does not replace the immigration inspection completed at the border.

An immigration application may still be necessary for:

• Employment or voluntary work
• Study
• Residence
• Visits beyond the ordinary allowance
• Travel using a non-standard travel document

Travelers with these purposes should select the correct permit through the Zambia Department of Immigration.

Yellow fever and health entry rules

A yellow fever vaccination certificate is not normally required solely because a traveler comes from Andorra. It becomes an entry requirement when the traveler arrives from a country classified as a yellow fever transmission risk. Certain transit itineraries through risk countries may also affect the requirement.

Check the complete route, including airport connections, shortly before departure. Carry the original International Certificate of Vaccination when the rule applies.

Health recommendations for Zambia are broader than border requirements. Travelers should obtain individualized medical advice on malaria prevention and routine vaccinations without confusing recommendations with mandatory entry documents. UK government entry guidance confirms Zambia’s route-based yellow fever rule.

Visiting Zimbabwe or Botswana from Zambia

Andorran travelers combining Zambia with Zimbabwe may consider the KAZA UNIVISA. It costs USD 50 and permits repeated travel between Zambia and Zimbabwe for up to 30 days. It also covers eligible Botswana day trips through Kazungula while the traveler remains within the permitted KAZA itinerary.

Andorran nationals are listed as eligible. The visa is unnecessary for a Zambia-only trip.

Official participating entry points include:

• Kenneth Kaunda International Airport
• Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport
• Victoria Falls Border
• Kazungula Border

Common entry problems for Andorran travelers

The most common problems are reliance on outdated visa advice, insufficient passport validity and failure to check the entry stamp. Travelers may also face questions when they cannot show onward travel, accommodation details or documents supporting the purpose and duration of their visit.

Avoid these mistakes:

• Paying for an unnecessary eVisa
• Traveling with fewer than three blank passport pages
• Assuming the full 90 days are granted automatically
• Overstaying the date stamped at entry
• Treating visitor status as permission to work
• Ignoring yellow fever rules for connecting countries

Keep digital copies of essential documents, but carry the originals required at immigration.

FAQs

These answers cover the main cost, passport, health, regional travel and extension questions for Andorran passport holders.

Is there a fee to enter Zambia without a visa?

No. An eligible Andorran visitor pays no visa fee because entry is visa-exempt. Charges may still apply for permits, the KAZA UNIVISA or services unrelated to ordinary admission.

Does an Andorran passport need six months’ validity?

Yes. The passport must remain valid for at least six months from the date of entry into Zambia. It must also contain at least three full blank pages.

Do I need a yellow fever certificate to enter Zambia?

Not when traveling only from countries without yellow fever transmission risk. A certificate is required when the traveler’s origin or qualifying transit history includes a listed risk country.

Do I need a KAZA UNIVISA to visit Victoria Falls?

Not for the Zambian side of Victoria Falls alone. Consider the KAZA UNIVISA when crossing into Zimbabwe or adding an eligible Botswana day trip through Kazungula.

Can I extend my stay after entering Zambia?

Yes. Immigration can extend a shorter initial admission free of charge within the total 90-day visitor allowance. Apply before the stamped stay expires. Remaining beyond that allowance normally requires a Visiting Permit.
