The Indian citizens intending to visit Zambia in 2025 will have to acquire a visa before accessing the country because Indian passport holders cannot gain free entry.

  • Bank statements to prove that you are staying.
  • Cover letter indicating your travel schedule and reason for visit.
  • Yellow Fever vaccination certificate- required when the traveler is coming in or passing through the countries with risk including India.
