Note that we now require applications and photo- graphs for all visa applicants regardless of age. Most visa applicants should apply in person so they may be interviewed. If you are not a Zambian citizen and have not established employment or family ties within Zambia, you should apply for a visa from the U.S. Embassy in your home country. There may also be another fee if your country of citizenship charges U.S. citizens for visas. Citizens of some countries do not require visas for visits of 90 days or less for business or pleasure.
Visas are usually ready by noon the same day.
