UAE announces new travel protocols

The travel protocols of UAE citizens have been updated, effective Wednesday, October 27.

The new update allows fully vaccinated citizens to travel. Meanwhile, citizens who did not receive the full doses of the vaccine are prohibited, except for the UAE diplomatic missions, patients, as well as humanitarian cases, and those who are studying abroad on scholarships, provided that prior approval is obtained from the official authorities.

Returning citizens are required to present a valid negative COVID-19 PCR test result with a QR code for a test conducted within 48 hours from the time of departure as well as presenting the result of another Rapid PCR Test conducted not more than 6 hours before the departure time at the airport of the destination.

Vaccinated travellers must take a PCR test upon arrival and take two more PCR tests on the fourth and eighth days.

Unvaccinated travellers must take a PCR test upon arrival, quarantine for 10 days and take another test on the ninth day.

The protocol also covered a number of departure requirements, including registering in the ‘Tawajudi’ service and uploading a negative PCR test result valid for 48 hours and the itinerary, along with adhering to the destination requirements and procedures.

Those above the age of 70 are advised not to travel to maintain their health and safety.
