🇿🇲 Zambia for 🇨🇼 CW citizens

Zambia’s e‑Visa and permit portals require passport copies in image formats (jpg, png or tiff). Original passport must be presented on arrival together with the visa approval letter.

Required for all online visa applications according to the ‘Visa Requirements by Purpose of Visit’ page. Photo should be recent (taken within the last 6 months) and show full face without headgear, unless worn for religious reasons.

Tourism visa requirements explicitly list a cover letter from the applicant addressed to the Director-General, signed by the author. Letter can be brief but should match the itinerary and dates shown on tickets and bookings.

Tourism visa requirements list a hotel booking as a required document. If staying with friends or relatives, an invitation/host letter with address and contact details is typically accepted instead, but applicants should confirm with Immigration or the e‑Visa portal.

Tourism visa requirements and general entry rules require a copy of the return air ticket. For land exits, proof of onward travel (e.g., bus booking) may be accepted; applicants should upload any available evidence. While the Business row in the requirements table does not restate the ticket requirement, general entry rules require valid return air tickets for air arrivals. Applicants should upload their ticket confirmation as part of the e‑Visa or mission application.

While not explicitly listed under Tourism requirements, Immigration guidance for land and water arrivals mentions sufficient funds; officers may request proof during adjudication. Applicants are advised to upload bank statements or similar evidence, especially for longer stays or low-cost itineraries.
