Israel to Zambia visa requirements

Israeli ordinary passport holders can travel to Zambia visa-free for tourism. No visa is required in advance or on arrival; you simply receive an entry stamp valid for a short stay. As of 2026, Israel is on Zambia's visa-exempt list (entry #73 on the official Department of Immigration roster). Israel was added in the major visa-waiver expansion under Statutory Instrument No. 78 of 2024, which took effect on 1 January 2025 and lifted visa requirements for 53 additional countries, bringing Zambia's total visa-free nationalities to 167. Israeli citizens holding an ordinary passport can enter Zambia for tourism without obtaining any visa beforehand or at the border. On arrival, immigration grants an entry stamp permitting a stay typically up to 30 days, extendable in-country, with a maximum of 90 days within any rolling 12-month period for tourism. Travelers must hold a passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry, with at least 3 blank pages, and should carry proof of onward/return travel and sufficient funds. While no Zambian visa is needed, standard yellow fever requirements may apply if arriving from or transiting an endemic country. Israeli travelers who plan to combine Zambia with Zimbabwe (e.g. visiting both sides of Victoria Falls) would normally use a KAZA UNIVISA, but since Israelis are visa-free for Zambia, the UNIVISA is only relevant for the Zimbabwe portion. The visa-free channel is the best and simplest option for a short tourist stay.
