VISAS
A Visa in the Zambian context is an endorsement on a visa form or in a valid passport of a foreigner granting such person authority to enter Zambia within a specific period upon examination by an Immigration Officer at the port of entry.
The period of stay in Zambia shall be determined by an Immigration Officer at the port of entry. The validity of the visa is NOT the period in which the holder is entitled to remain in the country but a period within which the holder has to enter Zambia.
