visa and flying into ZambiaCountry forums / Africa / Zambia | ||
Has anyone flown into Livingstone, particularly with 1time air? In their terms and conditions it states that
I was under the impression that I could get a visa upon my arrival at the airport in Livingstone but this makes it seem like I need to obtain a visa before my flight. I've travelled overland into Zambia and there was no problem with getting a visa at the border. Can anyone advise? (I'm Canadian.) | ||
Getting a visa on arrival will be no problem. However, this doesn't stop the airlines making their own rules and perhaps they won't let anyone on board without a visa in advance. That seems harsh, since so many nationalities can get visas on arrival, so perhaps they are covering themselves with their T&C to give them the right to refuse someone, for example, who has an unusual passport where they don't know if a visa is available on arrival. Ultimately, if someone is refused entry the airline is responsible for taking them back. Also, bear in mind that this condition is obviously a catch all and relates to all countries that they fly to (some of which may need visas in advance for more people). I think the only thing you can do for peace of mind is to contact the airline and ask. | 1 | |
1time definitely won't refuse you on their flight. | 2 | |
