Covid-19 restriction lifted for entry into United Arab Emirates
On March 26, 2020, the UAE shut its borders by suspending all inbound and outbound travel due to Covid-19. But, now passengers traveling to Dubai are free to travel without unnecessary restrictions. There are no longer required to present a COVID‑19 vaccination certificate or perform PCR tests. Travelers to or from Dubai only have to comply with the transit and travel requirements of their final destination.
Second phase of the easing of restrictions for entry into United Arab Emirates:
There were restrictions for travelers for more than 30 months of COVID-19. As per the announcement by the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) United Arab Emirates (UAE) has lifted all restrictions and precautionary measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This came into action at 6 am on Monday, i.e. November 7, 2022.
This step was taken after analyzing the situation in the country from occupancy rates in hospitals and intensive care for COVID-19 cases.
Ease in COVID-19 restrictions are as follows:
- No green pass is required to enter public places
- Al Hosn App use will be limited and to proof of vaccination and test results inside and outside the country upon request only
- Wearing masks will be optional in all open and closed facilities unless in health facilities and centers.
Despite the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions:
- COVID-19 PCR testing and treatment facilities will continue as per usual
- A five-days isolation period is necessary for a patient infected with COVID-19
- Organizers of sports activities require PCR tests or vaccination certificates to participate in or attend their events.
