Abu Dhabi’s Green List updated
Abu Dhabi’s Green List was also updated and came into effect at midnight last night, 20 August.
This brings the list to 29 countries, with Austria the latest country to make the list.
This follows Monday’s Green List update when the United States and Maldives were removed from the Green List and Ireland, Sweden and Malta were added.
This brings the total number of countries now on the Abu Dhabi Green List to 29, with travellers from those countries no longer needing to quarantine on arrival to the UAE capital.
Vaccinated and non-vaccinated people arriving at Abu Dhabi Airport from countries that are not on the Abu Dhabi Green List will still need to quarantine.
The length of quarantine was recently shortened to 10 days from 12 days, for both residents of Abu Dhabi and tourists.
