Professional Clearance is mandated to uphold the integrity of various professional fields, ensuring that only qualified individuals engage in employment that contributes meaningfully to Zambia’s economy. This requirement applies across multiple sectors, including healthcare, engineering, finance, and education, among others.

Why Professional Clearance is Essential

1. Regulatory Compliance – Zambia has established regulatory bodies such as the Health Professions Council of Zambia (HPCZ), the Engineering Institution of Zambia (EIZ), and the Zambia Institute of Chartered Accountants (ZICA), among others. These institutions assess foreign professionals’ qualifications and determine their eligibility to work in the country.
2. Employment Permit Processing – Immigration authorities require professional clearance before approving an Employment Permit. Without this clearance, applications risk rejection or significant delays.
3. Protection of Local Workforce – By enforcing this requirement, Zambia ensures that employment opportunities prioritize local professionals where possible while allowing skilled expatriates to fill gaps in specialized fields.
4. Credibility for Employers – Organizations employing foreign professionals’ benefit from the assurance that their hires meet the necessary qualifications and ethical standards.

Steps to Obtaining Professional Clearance in Zambia

1. Credential Evaluation – The applicant must submit academic and professional qualifications to the relevant regulatory body for assessment.
2. Verification & Accreditation – The regulatory body may verify qualifications with the issuing institutions and assess whether they align with Zambian professional standards.
3. Registration & Licensing – In certain professions, additional requirements such as licensing exams or supplementary training may be necessary before clearance is granted.
4. Issuance of Clearance Certificate – Once the applicant meets all requirements, a clearance certificate is issued, which is then used as supporting documentation for the Employment Permit application.
