In this case, the immigration officer gives no more than 30 days To obtain an extension, you must go to the immigration department before the expiry date. Extensions are free of charge for stays of up to 90 days. Extensions are charged for stays of over 3 months.
The Zambian authorities consider overstaying without a visa extension to be an illegal overstay, punishable by imprisonment and a fine.
