1 What is shared and what is not
- Not shared: the permit itself, the passport it is linked to, and the US$45–US$95 Zambia government fee. Each of those is per person.
- Not shared: our service fee, which is a flat US$59.99 per traveller with no family discount and no nationality surcharge.
- Shared: the session. You can add every traveller to one application and pay once, which is far easier to keep track of.
2 Children count as travellers
Infants and children need their own permit even when they travel on a parent's booking. A child included on a parent's passport still needs to be checked against Zambia's current rules before you assume otherwise.
3 Where families go wrong
Copying one person's details across the group. Every traveller's passport number, full name exactly as printed in the machine-readable line, date of birth, nationality and passport expiry date must come from their own passport. Middle names and name order differ more than people expect, and one mismatched record can hold up the set.
4 Timing for a group
Allow the full 5 working days — no faster route is offered — and remember the group only travels when the last approval lands. Apply for everyone at once rather than trickling applications in.
5 Before you apply
Work through the Zambia eVisa requirements checklist, then continue to the application flow. Other questions for this destination are collected in the Zambia eVisa FAQ.
United eVisa Services is a private application-support provider, not a government agency. The immigration authority makes the decision.
