Travellers from green list countries do not need to quarantine.
Abu Dhabi has updated its green list of countries and destinations from which travellers can enter the emirate without needing to quarantine on arrival.
The updated list which went into the effect on 15 February sees Turkey added to the list with Tunisia being removed.
The United Kingdom still remains on the red list.
If you are arriving into the country and are fully vaccinated against Covid-19, you will not be required to isolate when flying into the UAE, but will be required to follow testing requirements.
All travellers arriving from the updated ‘Green List’ destinations will be exempt from mandatory 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 an additional PCR test upon arrival at Abu Dhabi International Airport. Vaccinated passengers from the updated ‘Green List’ countries will take another PCR test on day six (the day of arrival into Abu Dhabi counts as day one). Unvaccinated travellers arriving from ‘Green List’ countries will must take PCR tests on days six and nine.
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.
