Abu Dhabi updates its border entry rules, comes into force Friday

Procedures for those unvaccinated remains the same.

Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee has updated the procedures to enter Abu Dhabi emirate from within the UAE, for vaccinated citizens, residents and visitors.

The new rules are effective from Friday, 20 August 2021.

 

 

According to the updated procedures, those vaccinated and participants in a clinical trial can enter Abu Dhabi emirate if they have green pass and an active E or star icon on Al Hosn app. 

For those remaining in Abu Dhabi, no further testing is required, as long as you are vaccinated and participants in a clinical trial with green status and active E/star icon on Al Hosn.

For those not remaining in Abu Dhabi, a PCR test is required to show the E/star icon, which remains active for seven days.

Visitors from abroad should also follow the relevant travel protocol.

The current testing procedures for those unvaccinated to enter the emirate remains the same. This requires a PCR test within 48 hours of entry or a DPI test within 24 hours, as well as multiple additional tests if remaining in the emirate.

Earlier on Thursday, 19 August, Abu Dhabi removed the stay-at-home restrictions, which had been on place since the EID break.
