I checked online and to open a bank account you need your passport, payslip or proof of income and a introduction / reference letter from your employer. Also passport type photographs.
Zanaco is the largest bank in Zambia. You can open a foreign currency account with them. Make sure that you can do international transfers on whichever account you open.
Thanks Stumpy! Appreciate your input. The only thing that I could not also understand from the website is whether I can open an account as a foreigner and non-resident of Zambia, because it seems like Zanaco only deals with residents and citizens.
If anyone knows anyone who works at Zanaco - I would really appreciate if you could check this information with them. I emailed Zanaco myself but all three emails were ignored.
