Do you need a Zambia tourist visa?
British passport holders don't need a visa to visit Zambia for short stays. You'll still need a visa if you're going to work, or staying longer than visa-free entry allows.
What a Zambia tourist visa covers
A Zambia tourist visa is for holidays, sightseeing and visiting family or friends in Zambia. It doesn't cover business meetings or paid work. If you're travelling for business, see our Zambia business visa page.
UK residents on other passports
UK residents travelling on other passports may need a visa, depending on their nationality. Travellers who do need a visa can ask us about the KAZA visa, which has covered both Zambia and Zimbabwe.
