The Department of Immigration has warned Zambians seeking employment abroad to verify job offers and recruitment agents before travelling.
This follows reports of exploitation involving two Zambian women who have returned home from India.
Immigration Chief Public Relations Officer NAMATI NSHINKA says the women travelled to India in July 2026 for employment but reportedly found themselves doing work different from what they had agreed to.
Mr. NSHINKA says the women sought refuge at the Zambian Embassy, which helped arrange their return home.
Upon arrival in Zambia, they were handed over to officers from the Department of Social Welfare and the Anti-Human Trafficking Department for further assistance.
Mr. NSHINKA has advised Zambians planning to work abroad to obtain clearance from the Ministry of Labour and Social Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation before travelling.
Meanwhile, the Department of Immigration has removed more than 190 illegal immigrants from Zambia in a mass removal operation.
Mr. NSHINKA says those removed include Burundians, Tanzanians, Rwandans and Ugandans.
He says some of the immigrants were convicted of immigration offences and paid fines imposed by the courts, while others were removed administratively without appearing before the courts.
In a related development, immigration officers at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport received a Zambian man who had been deported from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates for staying beyond the period allowed under his visit status.
Mr. NSHINKA says the man left Zambia on March 29, 2026 and reportedly worked as a technician at Amazon before his deportation.
He has urged Zambians seeking jobs abroad to carefully check employment offers and ensure recruitment agents are legitimate before making travel arrangements.
