Czechia to Zambia
Can children travel on this route?
If you are under 18, carry a notarised letter of parental consent for travel to Zambia.
What should I do before I travel?
Before you travel, check that your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your date of entry into Zambia. You do not need to obtain a visa for stays of 30 days or less; any stay longer than 30 days requires a visa.
Carry proof of onward travel such as a return flight and evidence of your accommodation (for example a hotel booking). Be prepared to show that you have sufficient funds for your stay. Travel insurance is recommended but is not required for entry.
Zambia maintains an embassy or consulate in Czechia, so any required visa application or consular assistance can be handled without leaving Czechia.
What happens at the border?
On arrival, present your passport to immigration. You may be asked for proof of sufficient funds for your stay, proof of a return flight, and proof of hotel booking. There is no requirement to complete an arrival registration or entry card.
