Will I get a new e-visa for Zambia if I apply for an extension, or will my existing one be updated?
Instead of receiving a new visa, Zambia will extend your current one if your request for a visa extension is granted.
You must contact Zambia's Department of Immigration to obtain a stay extension. There, you must apply for a visa extension together with the necessary documentation, including a valid passport and visa. By using the extension procedure, you can prolong your stay without submitting a fresh visa application.
Typically, you may be allowed to extend your visa for an additional 30 days. This extension can often be granted twice, allowing a total stay of up to 90 days. You need to apply for an extension from the Department of Immigration in Zambia. To do this, you must fill out a visa extension form and submit it along with your passport and valid visa. Applying for an extension is usually free, making it a convenient option for visitors who want to stay in Zambia longer than they originally intended.
In short, applying for an extension will update your current e-visa rather than issuing a new one. You should apply before your current visa expires to avoid any legal issues during your stay in Zambia.
