Obtaining a Visa Yemen is an extremely volatile country with a large threat of terrorist activity so visa restrictions are quite intense and change regularly. Please contact your nearest Yemeni consulate for details regarding a student visa.

Money Currency used in Zambia is the Kwacha. If you bring US Dollars to convert, note that Zambian banks will only accept large bills (nothing smaller than $50 bill) unless you want to be charged a ridiculously high exchange rate. Changing Euros is difficult; international banks will accept them, but at a high exchange rate. ATMs are found in major cities, but should not be depended too strongly upon. Some do not accept anything other than VISA, something to note. Some higher end places accept credit cards, but it is not common.
