You need a pre-arranged tourist visa
Zambia passport holders need a pre-arranged UAE tourist visa — a single-entry visa for 30 or 60 days, applied for online (ICP/GDRFA) or through an airline, hotel or travel agent.
The bottom line
- The visa is for a single visit for tourism, for a period of 30 or 60 days.
- Apply online via the ICP or GDRFA smart services, or have an airline, hotel or travel agent sponsor it.
- Government fee from AED 200 (30-day) or AED 300 (60-day), plus VAT; processed in about 48 hours.
Where you'll apply
Apply online through the official ICP or GDRFA smart services, or through your airline, hotel or a licensed travel agent — there is no in-person visa centre.
