FAQs

The Zambia e-Visa, although a convenient and widely accepted option for Rwandan citizens intending to travel to Zambia, is not universally applicable at all entry points into the country. While it can be utilized for the majority of Zambia's points of entry, there are exceptions.  The e-Visa is primarily tailored for travelers arriving by air, especially at major international airports like Kenneth Kaunda International Airport in Lusaka and Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula International Airport in Livingstone. For travelers planning to enter Zambia through these airports, the e-Visa is a readily accessible option. However, those arriving at other points of entry should verify the specific visa requirements and regulations for their intended entry location to ensure compliance with the Zambian immigration guidelines. For Rwandan citizens planning to enter Zambia via land borders or other entry points, it's important to note that the e-Visa may not be universally accepted. To navigate this, it's advisable to contact Zambian immigration authorities or the relevant embassy or consulate to confirm where the e-Visa is valid. Adhering to the specific entry requirements for your chosen entry point is crucial for a smooth arrival in Zambia. However, for those traveling by air, the Zambia e-Visa provides a convenient and efficient option, simplifying the visa process and enhancing the travel experience for Rwandan citizens visiting Zambia.

Rwandan citizens applying for an e-Visa to travel to various destinations do not need to part with their original passports during the application process. Instead, they are required to submit a scanned copy of the passport biodata page as part of the application. This convenience streamlines the application process, making it more accessible and efficient for Rwandan travelers. Not having to send the original passport provides added security and peace of mind for applicants, as their primary travel document remains in their possession throughout the application process. It also ensures that individuals can still use their passports for any other travel plans or identification needs during the application period. This approach reflects the commitment to ease of access and safety in the e-Visa application process, allowing Rwandan citizens to navigate international travel requirements quickly and conveniently while keeping their travel documents secure. Zambia Immigration Services only requires a few documents and some information to start the process. Here are the requirements for a successful operation: A copy of your passport that is still valid for at least another six months. A passport-sized self-portrait A second ticket for the return trip Hotel bookings or other forms of travel accommodations An email address.

Rwandan citizens applying for the Zambia e-Visa do indeed encounter age restrictions, although these restrictions come with specific provisions that facilitate travel for children. These limitations are accompanied by special provisions that make traveling with children a breeze. It's worth noting that children under the age of 16 traveling with foreign passports alongside parents who also have foreign passports and a Rwandan Identity Card won't be charged for their entry visa to Zambia. It's a welcome relief for families on the go! This exemption reflects a family-friendly approach to ease the travel process for Rwandan families, promoting ease of movement and tourism. For these young travelers, this means hassle-free entry into Zambia as long as they meet the specified criteria and have the necessary identification documents in place. It's a welcome policy that acknowledges the importance of family travel and simplifies the visa application process for Rwandan citizens with children below the age of 16.  However, for Rwandan citizens who do not meet these criteria or are older than 16, standard e-Visa application procedures and fees would still apply when planning a trip to Zambia.
