What does the honorary consul in Athens do?

Zambia is represented in Athens by an honorary consul. The honorary consul listed by the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs is Roze Chizi. According to the Greek list, the office covers the whole of Greece. There are no published opening hours, so arrange a meeting first. Before travelling there, call +30 211 002 7503 and e-mail info@zambiaconsulate.gr to check that someone is available.

Athens lies in Attica.

The Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not publish visa rules for individual countries. It asks Greek citizens travelling outside the EU and the European Economic Area to check with the consular authorities of the country they are visiting before departure – for Zambia, that means this mission.

Which Zambian office issues passports and visas?

Applications for Zambian passports, visas and official certificates are not processed here but by the Zambian Embassy in Rome (accredited to Greece).

Note: Zambia has no resident embassy in Athens; its embassy in Rome is accredited to Greece.

Holidays and closures

Like most offices in Greece, the honorary consulate closes on public holidays – including Clean Monday, Orthodox Easter (Good Friday to Easter Monday), the Assumption (15 August) and Christmas. The Zambian national day, 24 October, normally means a closure too. Check before visiting in the weeks around Christmas and Easter.
