Can I apply for a Zambia e-visa if I am transiting through the country?
Yes. You can apply for a Zambia transit e visa if you transit through the country. This type of visa allows you to pass through Zambia for up to 7 days while en route to another destination. During the 7-day stay, you can leave the airport and enjoy some of the awesome landscapes in the country. After this period, you must depart the country for the next destination.
A Zambia transit e visa can be applied for on the Zambia Immigration Services website, which is straightforward and time-saving. You should prepare the following documents to ensure a smooth process while applying for this type of visa:
- Valid Passport: You need a passport that is valid for at least six months from the date of entry into Zambia. The passport should also have at least two blank pages for visa endorsements.
- Digital Photograph: A recent passport-sized photograph in digital format will be needed. This photograph should be taken within the last six months.
- Flight Itinerary: A copy of your flight itinerary or confirmed round-trip ticket indicating your entry and exit dates from Zambia.
- Proof of Accommodation: You may need to provide proof of accommodation during your stay in Zambia. This can be in the form of a hotel reservation or an invitation letter from a host, depending on the purpose of your visit.
