Zambia Visa for Brazilian Citizens
Brazilian citizens need a visa to visit Zambia. The e-Visa costs $50, is valid for 90 days, and can be applied for online at evisa.zambiaimmigration.gov.zm. If your trip also includes Zimbabwe, the KAZA UniVisa ($50) covers both countries for 30 days with multiple border crossings, which is ideal for seeing both sides of Victoria Falls. Visa on arrival is available at Zambian airports, but the e-Visa is recommended. Zambia is home to some of Africa's finest walking safaris in South Luangwa and incredible canoeing experiences on the Lower Zambezi. Apply at least one week before your trip.
