We have just received notification that the Zambian government have put forward plans to REDUCE the current visa fees from US$150 to US$50 for single entry while double or multiple-entry fee will be reduced from US$340 to US$80.
However, please note that these new visa fees would only come into effect once the Minister of Home Affairs signs the statutory instrument. President Rupiah Banda had promised during his electioneering campaign that once elected into office he would slash the visa fees.
Watch this space …. !

I don’t see why this is such a great thing. Zambians pay around $110 for UK visa and $120 for the Schengen Visa and its a much poorer country. Tourist should stop their nagging and pay this fee which will go to the further development of the sites they come to visit.
