埃及(Egypt) 前往 赞比亚(Zambia) 签证要求

Egyptian ordinary passport holders need a visa BEFORE traveling to Zambia. Egypt sits in Zambia's "reference" category, meaning the visa must be cleared in advance by the Director General of Immigration — visa-on-arrival is NOT a reliable option. Apply online via the official Zambia eVisa portal; a single-entry tourist visa is US$25 and allows up to 90 days. As of 2026, Egypt is listed by the Zambia Department of Immigration under the category of "Nationals Requiring Visa Prior to Travel" (the so-called reference/Category B nationalities). This means an Egyptian ordinary passport holder cannot rely on visa-free entry or standard visa-on-arrival; the application must be lodged and approved in advance, with the Director General of Immigration issuing a letter of approval that is presented at the port of entry. In practice the application is filed through Zambia's official eVisa platform (eservices.zambiaimmigration.gov.zm), but because Egypt is a reference nationality, applicants should allow extra processing time for the clearance and should not assume on-arrival issuance. The standard tourist visa is single entry US$25 (double US$40, multiple US$75), valid 90 days from issuance, and tourists are granted up to 90 days of stay within any 12-month period. A passport valid for at least 6 months with blank pages, a return ticket, proof of accommodation/funds, and a cover letter addressed to the Director General of Immigration are required. Zambia is in southern Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so no Schengen 90/180 rule or ETIAS applies. Because Egypt is a reference nationality and on-arrival issuance is not guaranteed, the conservative and correct verdict is "visa-required" with advance application.
