Do UK citizens need a visa for Zambia?

British nationals visiting Zambia for less than 90 days do not need a visa in advance, and can obtain a visa on arrival. Effective from 1 November 2022, the Government of Zambia removed all visa fees for British passport holders visiting Zambia.



In a significant move to boost tourism, Zambia has maintained its visa-free policy for British passport holders through 2026. If you are a UK citizen traveling for tourism or business, you do not need to apply for a visa beforehand for stays of up to 90 days within a 12-month period. Upon arrival at major airports like Kenneth Kaunda International, you will simply receive an entry stamp in your passport. However, you must ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from the date of entry and has at least three blank pages. If you plan to visit both Zambia and Zimbabwe, the KAZA UNIVISA is still a popular option (available for $50 USD), allowing multiple crossings between the two nations and day trips to Botswana. For stays longer than 90 days or for specialized work, a traditional visa or permit is still required.
