How to Apply for a Zambia Visa in Dallas : visasupply.com

The city of Dallas and the surrounding metropolitan area is the most populous metropolis in the southern United States and fourth-most populous in the country. The Dallas metropolitan area—known as the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, or DFW by local residents—has a population of 7.6 million people and includes the cities of Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Irving, Garland, Richardson, Frisco, Mesquite, Denton, Grand Prairie, and McKinney. The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, located in North Texas, is one of the fastest growing regions in the country thanks to its low cost of living, low taxes, abundance of resources, and ease of doing business. Dallas has the second-highest concentration of Fortune 500 companies in the United States and there is a long list of companies that have been relocating to the area from other parts of the country. Dallas has a growing population of immigrants, including those from Sub-Saharan Africa and the nation of Zambia. The city is home to the Association of Zambians in Dallas-Fort Worth, a nonprofit organization that caters to the needs of Zambians and hosts events such dinner parties, business expos, and Independence Day celebrations. Dallas also has several Christian ministries and nonprofit organizations providing services in Zambia.

Zambia, located in southern Africa and bordering eight other African nations, is a landlocked country that is about 10% larger than the state of Texas. There are 18.3 million people living in Zambia and the population is composed of over 70 ethnic groups. Additionally, there are nearly 100,000 refugees from other African countries and minority groups of Chinese, Indians, and Zambians of European heritage. Although there are dozens of languages spoken throughout Zambia, English is the official language due to the country's former days as a British protectorate. Lusaka is the nation’s capital and is also the commercial hub of the country. Most visitors from Dallas traveling to Zambia will arrive at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport, located 16 miles from Lusaka’s business district. Lusaka has plenty of quality restaurants and hotels to make visitors feel at home. Just three hours away from Lusaka is the town of Siavonga and Lake Kariba, which is a great destination to relax and enjoy the scenery. Zambia has some of Africa’s best wildlife preserves and national parks such as North Luanga, South Luanga, Kafue, Liuwa, and the Lower Zambezi National Park. Of course, no visit to Zambia is complete without an overnight stay in the town of Livingston and an excursion to nearby Victoria Falls.

Applying for a Zambia Visa from Dallas

Visas for Zambia are issued by the Zambian government in the United States. The government of Zambia is represented by their embassy located in Washington, D.C. along with their office in New York City, which is the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Zambia to the United Nations. To apply for a Zambia visa from Dallas, you will fill out the visa application and send your original passport and supporting documents to their embassy by US Mail, FedEx, or UPS. Here is the address:

Embassy of Zambia
Attn: Visa Dept.
2200 R Street, NW
Washington, D.C. 20008

It is important to review the requirements for visas on the Zambia embassy website and ensure your application and all supporting documents are accurate. Here is the link to the embassy website with detailed information: Visa Application | Embassy of the Republic of Zambia in Washington, D.C. (zambiaembassy.org)

You should include a self-addressed USPS (US Postal Service Express Mail or Priority Mail), FedEx, or UPS prepaid envelope (please make note of the tracking number) so the embassy can return your passport and visa to your home or office.

The government fee for the multiple-entry visa is $150, $80 for the double-entry visa and $50 for the single-entry visa. The processing time is 5 business days plus transit time. The embassy also provides same-day processing for an additional $50 or next-day processing for an additional $40. We recommend applying for the visa at least 4 weeks before your departure.

Other things to consider:
