Indonesia to Zambia visa requirements

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Zambia for tourism. The recommended route is the Zambia eVisa, applied for online before travel through the official Department of Immigration e-Services portal. A single-entry tourist visa allows a stay of up to 90 days. Indonesia is not on Zambia's visa-exemption or visa-on-arrival lists, so Indonesian ordinary passport holders require a visa for tourism. Zambia's Department of Immigration formally classifies Indonesia among nationals who must obtain a visa prior to travel, and in practice this is done through the official online eVisa system, which lets eligible travelers apply, upload documents, and pay before departure. A single-entry tourist visa permits a stay of up to 90 days; double- and multiple-entry options exist. Effective 1 January 2026, Zambia revised its visa fees: single entry USD 50, double entry USD 80, multiple entry USD 80, plus the regional KAZA Univisa (USD 50, valid for Zambia and Zimbabwe with day trips to Botswana) and a USD 10 day-tripper visa for visits under 24 hours. Passports should be valid at least 6 months on entry with blank pages. Travelers should also be aware of yellow fever vaccination requirements if arriving from or transiting an endemic country. Apply at least one to two weeks before travel to allow processing.
