A Study Permit is issued to a foreign national
who intends to study on full time or part time basis at a Zambian Educational
Institution. Children and dependents of holders of permits should apply for
Study Permits in order to study at an educational institution in Zambia for a
period longer than three (03) months unless the children or dependents in their
own right hold Residence Permits, in which case they should ensure that the
occupation on their Residence Permits reads “student”.
Note:
The holder of a Study Permit shall comply with the conditions specified in the
permit and shall not engage, for gain, in any activity, business, trade, employment,
profession or any other thing not specified in the permit.
