Vaccinated residents can return from 15 countries

Expats from 15 countries, including India and Pakistan, from where travel to the UAE was suspended, can return from tomorrow if they have had both doses of an approved vaccine. They need to get ICA approval and meet PCR test requirements. Children under 16 are exempt. Residents stranded in one of the countries for over six months are also allowed to travel under a new entry permit and rectify their status after entry. The rules are unchanged for unvaccinated residents
