⚠️ Important Notes
Pakistani passport holders must apply for the eVisa before traveling to Zambia. The eVisa is linked to your passport number so any change in passport will require a new application. Carry a printed copy of the approved eVisa as immigration officers at the port of entry will verify it. Zambia also offers a KAZA Univisa which covers both Zambia and Zimbabwe for tourists visiting both countries, and this may be a better option if you plan to visit both destinations.
Common Rejection Reasons
