How it works with us

Write to us on WhatsApp or use the form on this page. Send your passport page and dates. An adviser reads the rule for your passport and says whether you need a visa at all. If you do, one total price comes first. Then the team files the Zambia e-visa and follows up. We are a private visa service. Zambian immigration decides.

A refused e-visa means the government fee is not returned. Your adviser tells you in writing, before you pay, what share of our total would come back, if any.
