If you need consular help, Lithuania has no embassy in Zambia; the nearest Lithuanian embassy is in South Africa. Zambia’s embassy accredited to Lithuania is located in Stockholm. These missions are for consular assistance, not for applying for entry permission.
Can I travel on a temporary passport?
You should travel with your passport; a temporary passport is not accepted at the Zambian border for this route, so regular passport holders must use their ordinary passport.

The Zambia Department of Immigration publishes detailed rules on travel-document validity and visa procedures; consult that authority for procedural queries beyond the tourist permissions described here.

Medical services are described as limited and of poor quality in the official guidance; for that reason insurance covering treatment abroad and medical repatriation is recommended.
Can I work or study in Zambia on this tourist entry?
This tourist entry does not permit paid work or study; the entry permission described here is for short tourist visits only.
