Your Questions Answered: Dubai Residents Can Now Travel Outside The Country With NO Added Restrictions<\/em><\/p>\n

Okay, we’ve all been tossed around quite a bit with all the new and confusing travel updates for the past one week, but the latest announcement by the UAE authorities seem clear up some major doubts out, so let’s take a look.<\/p>\n

On July 1, after just recently announcing that UAE residents could only travel outside of the country for 7 critical reasons<\/a>, on Friday, July 3 the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Emergency Authority (NCEMA) and the Federal Authority for Identity & Citizenship (ICA) declared that was no longer the case.<\/p>\n

Here is a breakdown of steps for those seeking to travel outside the UAE:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Citizens must register with Twajudi<\/a> service (for Emiratis only)<\/li>\n
  2. Travellers may need to undergo COVID-19 testing before travel (48 hours validity) depending on the requirements of their destination country<\/li>\n
  3. Download\u00a0Al Hosn mobile application<\/li>\n
  4. Show result on Al Hosn app at immigration<\/li>\n
  5. Returning expats must have international health insurance<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Returning Dubai residents will NOT require an ICA approval, however, Dubai visa holders<\/span> MUST have a return approval from the General Directorate of Residency and Foreign Affairs (GDRFA).<\/a><\/h2>\n

    However, to enter Abu Dhabi and other emirates apart from Dubai, residents still require ICA approval.<\/p>\n

    P.S. Every passenger flying to Dubai needs to fill in the\u00a0health declaration form<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and the\u00a0quarantine undertaking form<\/strong><\/a>. Both forms need to be PRINTED, completed\u00a0and handed over to Dubai Health Authority staff at arrival.<\/em><\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    All UAE peeps CAN travel to any destination as long as\u00a0health and safety measures are\u00a0enforced by passengers and within airports<\/h2>\n

    NCEMA further added that the traveller must also obtain international health insurance, which is valid throughout the period of travel and covers the desired destination.<\/p>\n

    *DISCLAIMER: This article is being updated every hour as we receive new information*<\/em><\/h4>\n
    \n

    Travel will only be permitted if the individual receives a negative result. The traveller must also obtain international health insurance, which is valid throughout the period of travel, and covers the desired destination.<\/p>\n
