## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Zambia: listed ordinary passports eligible for visa on arrival** (Visa on arrival)
  DGI expressly allows these nationalities to get a visa at any Zambian port of entry.
  - DGI states these nationalities may receive a visa on arrival at any port of entry or from selected Zambian missions.
  - The same page says they may apply online, but that optional online route does not replace the expressly available arrival-visa route or make this a nationality-wide eVisa classification.
  - For arrival issuance, DGI requires host information and a physical Zambia address, a passport valid at least six months from entry with at least three full blank pages, and either a return air ticket or sufficient funds for land/water arrival.
  - Purpose, residence, employment, study, crew, transit, diplomatic, official, special-document and individual admissibility rules remain separate.
