Expedited Zambia Visa
Washington DC Embassy

Citizens of the United States of America DO NOT need a visa to visit Zambia.

You may proceed with a visa request if your Nationality is listed under Zambia Visa Eligible Nationals.

You must send your passport – a copy is not acceptable. 

• Your signed passport must have more than 6 months validity remaining to apply for a visa. Visa will not be issued with less than 6 months validity.
• Must contain sufficient blank visa pages. Visas are affixed to the blank "Visa" pages of your passport. "Amendment" pages (clearly marked as such) in the back of your passport are not acceptable for visa issuance.

Please submit two (2) recent passport photographs taken within the last six months. Please carefully review the Passport Photo Style Regulations.

Important: you must sign the back of the photo.

If you are not a citizen of the United States:
A copy of your valid green card (front and back), a copy of your U.S. visa and original I-94, student I-20, I-97, H1B document, J1 including DS-2019, etc. is required.

Please note: in some cases the original green card is required to be presented to the Embassy or Consulate.

A letter of invitation from your host or the company you intend to visit is required. This letter must be on company letterhead and signed by a representative of the company.

The letter should include the following information:

• Written on company letterhead—letterhead must state the business address in the USA.

You must provide a copy of your confirmed roundtrip airline itinerary indicating the dates of entry and exit from the country you intend to visit. Your name must be on the ticket (do not send an original ticket).

Note: If you are crossing a border by car please write a brief letter of explanation.  Make sure to sign the letter - an original signature required.  A roundtrip flight confirmation to the foreign country closest to your destination is still required.
