Zambia Embassy in Jordan: Visa and consular guide

As of now, Zambia does not operate an embassy or consulate in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. This means that Jordanian citizens and residents planning to travel to Zambia must obtain their visa through a Zambian embassy located in another country.

If you are living in Jordan and intend to visit Zambia for tourism, business, study, or any other purpose, it is essential to understand the proper visa application procedures to avoid travel disruptions.

Why is there no Zambia embassy in Jordan?

Zambia, like many countries, maintains diplomatic missions only in select locations around the world. While Jordan and Zambia have amicable bilateral relations, Zambia has not yet established an embassy, consulate, or honorary consulate in Amman or elsewhere in Jordan.

As a result, Zambia-bound travelers from Jordan must rely on Zambia’s overseas embassies or consulates for consular support, including visa issuance.

How can Jordan residents apply for a Zambia Visa?

Since there is no Zambian diplomatic mission in Jordan, visa applicants will need to apply via one of Zambia’s embassies abroad. There are three main options available:

1. Apply in person at a nearby Zambia Embassy

You can visit the nearest Zambian embassy or high commission. Common options for Jordanian travelers include:

• Zambia Embassy in Cairo, Egypt
• Zambia High Commission in Pretoria, South Africa
• Zambia Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Contact the selected embassy in advance to inquire about:

• Visa requirements and fees
• Application forms and required documents
• Appointment availability and submission process

2. Apply by email or courier

Some Zambia embassies accept visa applications by email or postal mail, which may be a convenient alternative to traveling to another country. Ensure you receive confirmation of their remote processing policy before sending your documents.

3. Check eligibility for Zambia eVisa

Zambia also offers an eVisa (electronic visa) system, which is available to citizens of many countries. Jordanian passport holders may be eligible to apply online and receive their visa electronically. Visit Zambia’s official eVisa portal to check your eligibility and submit your application.
