⚠️Common Reasons Zambia Tourist Visa Applications Are Refused6

• !
  No return or onward travel ticket, or no proof of accommodation for the stay when requested at the border.
• !
  A passport with less than six months' validity or insufficient blank pages.
• !
  Exceeding the visa-free allowance (30 days per entry, up to 90 days per year cumulative for tourism; 30 days per year for business visits without a permit).
• !
  Travelling on the visa-free or eVisa route for paid work rather than tourism or a business visit — Zambia requires a separate work permit for employment.
• !
  Applying for the eVisa without checking eligibility first — a small number of nationalities have no eVisa or exemption at all and must use an embassy application instead.
• !
  Incomplete eVisa documentation or a mismatch between the online application and the passport presented at the border.

Refusal grounds are at the discretion of the deciding officer and can change. This list is informational — always verify current requirements at the official government portal.
