The Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) has announced a further update to the ‘Green List’ of countries for inbound travel into Abu Dhabi, as it supports the easing of travel restrictions whilst maintaining safety protocols. All travellers arriving from the updated ‘Green List’ of destinations (vaccinated and unvaccinated) will be exempt from quarantine measures after landing in Abu Dhabi.

Travellers will be required to present a negative PCR COVID-19 test result, valid for a maximum of 48 hours before departure and undergo a PCR test upon arrival at Abu Dhabi International Airport. Vaccinated passengers from the updated ‘Green List’ will take another PCR test on day 6 (the day of their arrival into Abu Dhabi counts as day 1). Unvaccinated travellers arriving from ‘Green List’ countries will also take a PCR test on Days 6 and 9.

Countries, regions and territories included on the ‘Green List’ will be regularly updated based on international developments. Inclusion on the list is subject to strict criteria of health and safety protocols for travel, ensuring and prioritising the well-being of the UAE community.

The countries mentioned on the ‘Green List’ refers to the departure point of travel, not the citizenship of the passenger.

Please note below the updated ‘Green List’ as of 8 October 2021 at 12:01am:
