No quarantine for all with vaccines
Last week, Abu Dhabi announced that all COVID-19 vaccinated travellers arriving in Abu Dhabi from Sunday, September 5 onwards would no longer need to quarantine in the emirate. PCR testing requirements still apply for all passengers, regardless of vaccination status and where they have travelled from. Therefore, all passengers still have to present a negative PCR test with 48-hour validity before boarding a flight.
Green List
On arrival, vaccinated travellers from Green List destinations need to take another PCR test, followed by a PCR test on Day 6 if they continue to stay in the emirate. The day of arrival counts as Day 1.
Unvaccinated travellers from Green List destinations will also be exempt from quarantine. These people will have to take PCR tests on arrival, and then follow up with further tests on Day 6 and Day 9.
Other destinations
Vaccinated travellers arriving from other destinations are also now exempt from quarantine, but they will have to take PCR tests on arrival, and on Day 4 and Day 8.
Quarantine requirement
Only unvaccinated travellers who have arrived from a place not on the Green List must still quarantine for 10 days on arrival in Abu Dhabi, and take a follow-up PCR test on Day 9.
