Ethiopia visa for Zambian citizens

For Ethiopian passport holders planning a journey to Zambia, securing your entry is straightforward with the readily available e-visa. This convenient online process grants visitors a maximum stay of 90 days, with options catering to tourist adventures, essential business trips, or simple transit, among a total of seven distinct visa types. Travelers typically find direct flights from Addis Ababa Bole International Airport (ADD) to Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN) in Lusaka, often aboard Ethiopian Airlines, bridging the over 3,000-kilometer distance between East and Southern Africa directly. Remember that Zambia operates on Central Africa Time (CAT), which is one hour behind Ethiopia, a minor adjustment for those looking to explore the country during its dry season, ideal from May to October.
