Zambian Visa and Permit Fees
How Zambian visa fees are structured by entry type, with a note that fees are set by the Department of Immigration and permit fees are prescribed separately.
Important
Visitor visa fees in Zambia are set by entry type — single entry, double entry and multiple entry — with separate fees for transit, day-tripper and the regional KAZA UniVisa. Immigration permits (employment, investor, study, spouse, residence) each carry a separately prescribed fee.
Zambia announced revised visitor visa fees taking effect from the start of 2026, so the amount payable depends on the date of application. Always confirm the current fee on the official Department of Immigration channels or the e-Visa portal before paying, as fees are periodically revised and stated in US dollars for visitor visas.
