Official wording
Nationals of the countries listed below do not require visas to enter Zambia. However, just like other non-citizen and non-residents arriving in Zambia by Air, they must be in possession of valid return air tickets. Those arriving by land and water must have enough funds for their stay in and departure from Zambia.
Aevamo’s reading
The Act creates the entry obligation itself: s.11(2) and s.12(3) require a non-citizen to hold a valid permit or visa to enter or remain in Zambia, s.25 caps the visiting visa at ninety days in any twelve-month period, and s.59 empowers the Minister to make the regulations (SI 129 of 2011 as amended by SI 78 of 2024) that carry the Fifth Schedule visa-exemption list.
The Department of Immigration's own list names the countries whose nationals do not require visas; every issuer in this row appears on that list, so none needs advance authorisation and entry is visa-free.

How the documents behind this regime are dated
SI 78 of 2024 was gazetted on 3 December 2024 (Government Gazette No. 7679) and the waiver took effect on 1 January 2025 per the Department of Immigration's announcement of 25 December 2024. The Department's visa lists are undated but reflect the post-1-January-2025 state (167 visa-exempt countries, matching the Minister's announced figure). The Act is Act No. 18 of 2010.
What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
