Singapore to Zambia visa requirements

Singapore ordinary passport holders can travel to Zambia visa-free for tourism and stay up to 90 days. No visa, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is required. As of 2026, Singapore ordinary passport holders do not need a visa to enter Zambia for short tourist visits. Singapore appears on Zambia's official visa-exemption list (Reference Table A), granting visa-free entry for up to 90 days within any 12-month period from first entry. The exemption is confirmed by the Zambia Department of Immigration, the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and IATA/Wikipedia visa references. No application, fee, or pre-arrival authorization is required. Travelers must hold a passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended departure date, and should carry proof of onward/return travel (return air ticket if arriving by air) and sufficient funds for their stay. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required only if arriving from or having recently transited a yellow-fever risk country. Zambia is in Southern Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
