Business law is based mostly on British law, and business customs are similar to those in the U.S. and Europe. Visas are required for U.S. passport holders, and it is highly recommended that travelers obtain visas in advance of arrival. A multiple entry visa costs forty U.S. dollars, and a single entry visa costs twenty five dollars. Visas specifically meant for tourists traveling as a group may be obtained at the border on arrival. These visas are usually single entry visas valid for 3 months and cost twenty dollars.
Crime is a problem in Zambia.
Mugging is relatively rare, but car thefts, and house and car break-ins are not uncommon. There are no internal travel restrictions in Zambia, although areas around military bases may have restricted access. Many observers see this as corruption problem. Medical facilities are generally limited. Doctors and hospitals often require immediate cash payment for health care services.
