Zambia
A passport and Zambia visa are required. Passports must have at least six months validity remaining and three blank visa pages. A visa may be obtained in advance at a Zambian Embassy or Consulate, or through a visa expediter, or at the port of entry. Upon entry, the immigration officer will stamp your passport with the permitted length of stay, typically up to 30 days. Extensions (two additional 30-day periods) are available at local immigration offices for a total of 90 days.
Zambian immigration officials require visitors to carry the original or a certified copy of their passport and immigration permit at all times. Certified copies must be obtained from the issuing immigration office. Americans should closely follow immigration guidelines, including visa requirements.
Volunteers must enter on a business visa, not a tourist visa. A letter of invitation from the sponsoring organization is required. Americans who volunteer on a tourist visa are subject to fines and removal by the Zambian Department of Immigration.
All Americans, except resident diplomats, must pay an airport departure tax, generally included in airfare. Passengers should verify this at the airport and obtain a receipt.
