Without prior notice and with immediate effect as of 26 January 2008, the Zambian government has abolished the visa waiver system that exempted guests placed on the manifest from paying visa fees on arrival. This sudden change will of course affect all of our guests who will not be allowed entry into the country without paying these costs.
In addition the new regulations have seen an increase in visa fees for many countries. Although this decision has apparently yet to be approved by the Zambian parliament it is already being enforced and has caused some consternation at the international entry points to the country where it applies to travelers both entering Zambia and also in transit through Zambia.
Below please find the latest information and ensure that you are informed of the changes and increased costs before you travel to Zambia. Bear in mind too that those countries that did not require visas in the past, still do not require visas and thus are not required to pay on arrival.
US citizens: single entry – US$135.00; double entry – US$135.00; multiple entry – US$135.00
UK citizens: single entry – GBP75.00; multiple entry – GBP240.00
Canadian citizens: single entry – US$55.00; double entry – US$55.00; multiple entry – US$55.00
Other nationalities: single entry – US$50.00; double entry – US$80.00; multiple entry – US$160.00
We regret the impact that this situation outside of our control will have our guests and trust that with swift communication we can limit its impact.
