The new COVID-19 ‘Omicron’ variant is of global concern. Flights may be disrupted. Tightened restrictions are in place. If you’re fully vaccinated, you don’t require a negative COVID-19 test result on entry to Zambia, but you’ll be required to provide proof of full vaccination status. Fully vaccinated means having 2 doses of a COVID-19 vaccine. If you’re not fully vaccinated, you’ll need proof of a negative COVID-19 (PCR) test taken 72 hours before departure from your country of origin, using an approved laboratory through the Trusted Travel platform. Regardless of vaccination status some airlines ask passengers for evidence of a negative COVID-19 (PCR) test taken within 72 hours before arrival in Zambia. You should check your airline’s guidelines carefully. If you’re leaving Zambia, you’ll need a medical certificate confirming you’ve had a negative COVID-19 (PCR) test.
