Abu Dhabi updates green list for travellers flying to the emirate
26 December, 2021
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 is effective from Sunday, December 26, comes following a surge in Covid-19 cases in many countries, largely tied to the Omicron variant.
Travellers who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 do not need to isolate when flying into the UAE, but will be required to follow testing requirements upon arrival and if they are staying in the emirate.
Unvaccinated travellers flying to Abu Dhabi only need to isolate if they're coming from countries not on the green list. In this instance, unvaccinated travellers arriving from other countries must quarantine for 10 days and follow testing requirements upon arrival.
