DGI's country list says these nationals do not require a visa to enter Zambia. - For air arrival, non-citizens/non-residents need a valid return air ticket; for land or water arrival, they need funds for their stay and departure. Admission remains subject to immigration examination. - This does not establish access for diplomatic, official, service, emergency, refugee, stateless or other special travel documents, residents, workers, students, crew, or case-specific travel. - Transit, including direct airside transit, and purpose-specific requirements are separate rules. Official sources: - [Zambia Department of Immigration: Zambia Department of Immigration: Nationals Who Do Not Require Visa](https://www.zambiaimmigration.gov.zm/nationals-who-dont-require-visa/) - [Zambia Department of Immigration: Zambia Department of Immigration: For Visitors](https://www.zambiaimmigration.gov.zm/for-visitors/) - [Zambia Department of Immigration: Zambia Department of Immigration: Visa Requirements by Purpose of Visit](https://www.zambiaimmigration.gov.zm/for-visitors/visa-requirements-by-purpose-of-visit/) - **Current official route — Zambia: Zambian citizenship entry** (Citizenship) Current Department of Immigration arrival guidance confines the visa requirement to qualifying non-citizens or non-residents; the same-country ordinary-passport relationship is normalized as citizenship, not a foreign visitor visa-free route. - DGI's arrival guidance distinguishes Zambian citizens from visa-requiring non-citizens; the no-visa schedule also expressly includes Zambia. This does not decide passport/document, dual-nationality, border, security or individual-admissibility formalities. - Direct-air-transit, resident, work, study, diplomatic, official, service and special-document rules are outside this nationality baseline. Official sources: - [Zambia Department of Immigration: Zambia Department of Immigration: Nationals Who Do Not Require Visa](https://www.zambiaimmigration.gov.zm/nationals-who-dont-require-visa/) - [Zambia Department of Immigration: Zambia Department of Immigration: Arriving & Departing Zambia](https://www.zambiaimmigration.gov.zm/arriving-departing-zambia/) - **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.

DGI states eVisa approval-letter holders may enter through any port of entry. - DGI notes that applicants under 16 cannot make an eVisa application themselves and must be included in an adult's application when travelling with an adult. - Does not decide special documents, diplomatic/official treatment, residence, employment, study, crew, transit or case-specific purpose rules.

Official source: - [Bureau of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of China (Taiwan): Taiwan MOFA BOCA: destinations available visa-free, visa on arrival, or by eVisa](https://www.boca.gov.tw/fp-37-220-9f130-1.html) - **Current official route — Montenegrin ordinary passports: Zambia visa-free entry** (Visa-free) Montenegro's Foreign Ministry says its citizens may enter Zambia without first obtaining a visa for stays up to 90 days. - Applies to an ordinary Montenegrin passport holder travelling as a short visitor for up to 90 days. - Purpose, cumulative-stay calculation, supporting documents and final admission remain separate requirements.
