Embassy of Sweden Lusaka, Zambia

Information on how to apply for a Schengen visa can be found here. Please note that before submitting your application you need to make an appointment.

The Embassy cannot assist students in applying for university studies in Sweden. If you want to learn about admissions for international students at Swedish universities please visit Study in Sweden.

The Embassy does not provide scholarships for students. If you are interested in scholarships for possible studies in Sweden please visit Study in Sweden.

Swedish passport holders do not require a visa to visit Zambia. Instead, you get an “entry visa stamp” on arrival which is valid for up to 30 days (check the date on the stamp).

If you intend to stay longer than 30 days, you need visit the Immigration office for extension of the validity of the “entry visa”. Passports must be valid for at least six months upon arrival and have at least three blank pages upon each entry.

Please note that information regarding Zambian requirements should always be confirmed by the relevant Zambian authority, such as the Zambia Department of Immigration or the Zambian Embassy in Stockholm or Zambian Immigration Department, as rules and regulations may change.

More info can be found on the following websites 🚩REVISED VISA RULES🚩 – Zambia Embassy and Zambia Department of Immigration (zambiaimmigration.gov.zm).

The Embassy of Sweden in Nairobi is now a migration hub for Schengen visa applications in Africa and handles all applications from Zambia.

Please note that the Swedish Embassy in Lusaka is no longer handling Schengen visa applications for travelers from Zambia to Sweden or other EU countries that Sweden represents.

On your visa, it is specified which countries it is valid for. If it says “Schengenstater”, it means that you can travel to Sweden and all the other Schengen countries using your visa.
