  • All UAE residents must update their details on uaeentry.ica.gov.ae prior traveling to the UAE.
  • Ahead of flying to Abu Dhabi, you must present a negative PCR test result, from a test taken within the past 96 hours. Travellers from the United Kingdom must present a negative PCR test result from a test taken within the past 72 hours, or as required by your airline.
  • After you have disembarked from your flight, medical authorities at Abu Dhabi International Airport will perform a free PCR test.
  • Following the PCR test, you will be requested to fill in a Quarantine Undertaking form while at the airport.
  •  As part of Abu Dhabi Emirate’s quarantine guidelines, you need to quarantine for 10 days at home or in a hotel. You are exempt from quarantine if you have travelled on a direct flight from this list of countries.
  • If you have arrived from a country that the UAE authorities deem as high-risk, then you will be subject to quarantine at a government facility.
  • If you are required to quarantine, you will be provided with an electronic wristband, which you will need to wear throughout the 10-day quarantine period.
  • 8 days following your arrival into Abu Dhabi, you will need to conduct a second PCR test. The day of your arrival in Abu Dhabi is counted as day 1. Details will be shared upon arrival.
  • Should you receive a negative result, the electronic wristband will be removed by medical authorities after 10 days, and you will have completed your mandatory quarantine.

Please make sure to have downloaded and activated the ALHOSN UAE application on your smart device upon your arrival at Abu Dhabi to receive your test results. The application is available through the App Store for iOS devices (iPhones) or the Google Play Store for Android devices.
The above measures have been implemented to ensure the safety of all the people living in the emirate of Abu Dhabi. We urge you to closely adhere to these procedures. Violating them will result in penalties and fines issued by the Government of Abu Dhabi.
While you’re at Abu Dhabi International Airport, please make sure you and anyone you’re travelling with is wearing personal protective equipment, consisting of a mandatory face-mask and the recommended disposable hand gloves.
