- Unvaccinated travellers from 'Green List' countries also able to enter Abu
Dhabi with no quarantine
- New simple process to verify international vaccination certificates launched
to support 'Green Pass' entry guidelines
Following the updated international entry guidelines recently announced by the
Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee, the Department of Culture
and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) announces Abu Dhabi is set to welcome
all fully vaccinated tourists and residents travelling from all countries
around the world, as well as unvaccinated visitors from 'Green List' countries,
with no quarantine measures. Vaccines must be approved by the World Health
organisation (WHO). This will take effect starting 5 September 2021.
Registering International vaccinations or exemption documents
In order to support seamless entry for international travellers and enable
visitors to safely enjoy the UAE capital's diverse experiences through the Abu
Dhabi Green Pass, DCT Abu Dhabi has outlined a simple process to enable
tourists to register their international vaccination certificate or vaccination
exemption document for verification 5 days before their travel date, via the
Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA) Smart app or via
https://ica.gov.ae website.
Applicants will receive an SMS confirmation that will include a link to the
Alhosn app, which must be downloaded prior to travel. The Alhosn app displays
users' vaccination status and PCR test results, which are required to activate
the Abu Dhabi Green Pass.
Upon arrival, travellers will receive a Unified ID number, from airport
immigration, or via the ICA Smart app or website; this will complete the
registration on the Alhosn app. Following a PCR test at the airport, visitors
can activate the Green Pass, allowing them entry to all public spaces in the
emirate.
Children under 12 and People of Determination (POD) with moderate and severe
disabilities are exempt from COVID-19 PCR testing.
Entry for vaccinated travellers from Green List countries
Under the new guidelines, vaccinated travellers from all over the world,
arriving from green list will be required to show a negative PCR test taken a
maximum of 48 hours before departure and take a PCR test at the airport on
arrival. They will not need to quarantine but will be required to take one more
PCR test on day 6 (Counting the day of arrival as day 1). Their hotel will

Entry for vaccinated travellers from all countries (outside green list)
Under the new guidelines, vaccinated travellers from all over the world ,
arriving from countries not on the green list, will be required to show a
negative PCR test taken a maximum of 48 hours before departure and take a PCR
test at the airport on arrival. They will not need to quarantine but will be
required to take one more PCR test on day 4 and day 8 (Counting the day of

Entry for unvaccinated travellers from Green List countries

exempt from quarantine measures. They will be required to show a negative PCR
test taken a maximum of 48 hours before departure, and take a PCR test on
arrival. They will also need to take a PCR test on day 6 (counting the day of
arrival as day 1) and another PCR test on day 9.
Entry for unvaccinated travellers from all countries (outside green list)
Unvaccinated travellers arriving from countries not on the Green List will be

departure and take a PCR test on arrival. They will be required to quarantine
for 10 days at home or in a hotel (counting the day of arrival as day 1). They
then must take a PCR test on day 9; if negative, visitors can end their
quarantine on day 10.
Entry to public places to all tourists and residents:
To further protect community members and travellers in the emirate, Abu Dhabi
implemented a 'Green Pass' protocol on August 20, enabling only those that are
fully vaccinated, officially exempted or under 16 years of age to access key
public places and attractions.
To maintain 'green' status on Alhosn app, fully vaccinated individuals must
show a negative PCR test result taken within the last 30 days, officially
exempted individuals a negative PCR test result taken within the last 7 days.
Children under 16 years of age automatically receive 'green' status without the
need to test.
The Alhosn app will recognise and automatically synchronise the tourists'
international vaccination or exemption certifications that are uploaded on the
ICA App or website, as part of the registration process. In the case of any
technical issues with Alhosn app, Abu Dhabi attractions will accept tourists'
vaccination certificate from their home country app or official report, as well
as the negative PCR result from the airport test via SMS.
