Dubai Entry Requirements

Dubai Entry Requirements

Please check the following before you undergo any travel to Dubai:

Ensure you meet entry visa requirements to visit the UAE.

All passengers arriving to Dubai from any point of origin (including GCC countries) must hold a negative PCR test certificate, for which the test must be taken no more than 72 hours prior to the time of departure. As announced on 19 June 2021 and effective from 23 June 2021, travellers from certain countries must hold a negative PCR test, taken no more than 48 hours prior to the time of departure.

Negative COVID-19 certificates must be printed in English or Arabic; PCR certificates in other languages are acceptable if they can be validated at the originating station (the date and time of the test must be detailed). The printed certificate must have a valid QR code. No handwritten, SMS or digital certificates will be accepted.

You may be required to take another test at Dubai Airports upon arrival if travelling from select destinations or if you show symptoms of COVID-19 on arrival. All travellers must check the country requirements from which they are departing.

Children under the age of 12 and passengers with a severe or moderate disability are exempt from the PCR test.

Ensure you have medical travel insurance with international coverage that covers COVID-19 before travelling.
