Study and Travel to Zambia – A Practical Guide for Pakistani Applicants
Zambia is often overlooked when planning international travel or higher education, but for those seeking affordable options, fewer visa complications, and a safe environment, it deserves serious consideration. With growing academic institutions and a tourism sector that’s open to international visitors, Zambia offers a solid alternative to more saturated destinations.
Visit Visa for Zambia – Simple and Straightforward
Pakistani citizens can apply for a Zambia visit visa with relatively fewer hurdles compared to many Western or Schengen countries. The application process is standard and includes submission of:
- A valid passport
- Passport-size photographs
- CNIC copy
- Hotel reservation or an invitation letter
- Round-trip air ticket
- Bank statement (last six months)
- Travel health insurance
- Visa application form
Zambia offers sticker visa and e-visa options, and in many cases, processing times are faster than other African destinations. Whether you’re planning to see Victoria Falls, visit Lusaka, or explore Zambia’s wildlife parks, we offer full visa assistance from documentation to submission.
Education Opportunities in Zambia for Pakistani Students
Zambia is home to a number of recognized universities offering programs in medicine, business, engineering, and social sciences. University of Zambia, Copperbelt University, and Lusaka Apex Medical University are a few examples where international students — including those from Pakistan — are welcomed.
Bachelor’s and Master’s level degrees are available in English, and the cost of education is significantly lower compared to Europe or North America. While IELTS is not always mandatory, basic English proficiency is required, and financial proof must be shown through a bank statement.
The general requirements include:
- Matric and Intermediate/Graduation documents
- Passport and CNIC
- Passport-size photos
- Bank statement (sponsor or self)
- Acceptance letter from a Zambian university
- Visa application and medical clearance (if required)
We assist students in selecting the right university, preparing their applications, and submitting student visa files with complete documentation.
Why Consider Zambia?
Zambia isn’t about hype — it’s about value. Whether you’re planning a short visit or long-term academic stay, here’s what makes it a smart choice:
- Lower visa rejection rates compared to many countries
- Affordable tuition and living expenses
- English-medium education
