As expected the government of Zambia has announced that all visas must be paid for in cash (!) on entry into the country. For US citizens the fee is $135 each for a standard visa. Regulations have not yet been announced for one-day or multiple entry visas.
Needless to say, tour operators who normally pay this for the traveler in advance are attempting to lobby the government to rethink this potentially serious problem. Can you imagine trying to find the exact cash amount while standing at the border? What happens if someone only has $125? Where do they send that person?
