Arriving in to Abu Dhabi from overseas

If you are a new arrival into Abu Dhabi from overseas (whether Resident visa holder or a tourist) these rules apply:

• • Passengers must present a negative COVID test result (valid within 96 hours – 72 hours from the UK) before boarding a flight to AUH (Under 12’s and those with disabilities are exempt).
• • On arriving in Abu Dhabi you will be given a further PCR test.
• • Quarantine requirements will depend on the country of origin. A tiered system has been introduced:
• • Visitors from “Green List” countries will be exempt from quarantine, once they get a negative COVID test result on arrival, this may take 24 hours. Testing is required again on Day 6.
• • Amended on 3 May 2021, if you are not vaccinated but arrived from a Green List country, take another follow-up PCR test on Day 12.
• • Arrivals from all other countries into AUH must self-quarantine for 10 days, either in a private home, hotel or accommodation provided by the authorities. Testing is required again on Day 8.
• • If you are vaccinated, this self-quarantine period is reduced to 5 days with a follow-up PCR test on Day 4.
• • To ensure adherence to self-quarantine rules, new arrivals into AUH from designated countries are fitted with a tracking wristband (colloquially nicknamed the “Abu Dhabi Rolex”)

If you first arrived in Dubai or any other airport in the UAE, you will still need to complete the balance of your time in self-quarantine.
