Find Every UAE Approved COVID-19 Testing Lab Worldwide On This Site
From August 1, all passengers travelling to Dubai or connecting in Dubai must have a negative COVID-19 test certificate. The test must be taken within a maximum of 96 hours before departure and a printed certificate should be presented.
Children under the age of 12 or passengers who have a moderate or severe disability will be exempted.
The negative COVID-19 PCR test certificate should be from a laboratory approved by the UAE government in your country if travelling to Dubai. This only applies if there is a specified laboratory mentioned for your country in the list. In other circumstances, you must coordinate with your airline. Without a test certificate, passengers will not be accepted on the flight.
The UAE has added all approved labs here
This is the website where you can register for your COVID-19 screening pre-flight. You need to add which country you’re flying from and the list of approved labs in that country will appear. Some countries do not appear on the list. If this is the case, the NCEMA stated airlines should coordinate with residents wishing to return so they can show negative PCR results from a centre approved in these countries.
Note: This site will be continuously updated to reflect new labs being added to the list.
Emirates has also listed approved labs from a number of countries here.
