A Day Tripper visa shall be issued at a port of entry to a tourist who visits Zambia for less than 24 hours and makes exit through the same port. Except those nationals that fall under referred visa. RJR does not recommend this visa, if any part of your flight or ticket schedule indicates to a TSA official in the US (Port of Embarkation) shows Zambia as a destination, you will likely be prevented from leaving the USA without a visa in your passport.
