The 60-second version
Zambia exit needs employer PAYE certificate and ZRA compliance letter. I export NAPSA statements, close ZMW/USD account, wire to NRE, and map RNOR for retained holdings.
PAYE certificate before closing ZMW float
Zambia taxes residents on worldwide income — I obtain employer PAYE reconciliation and ZRA TPIN clearance before departure.
Work permit cancel through employer; retain immigration exit proof for India ITR overlap year.
