Abu Dhabi has removed the following 6 countries from the green list starting tomorrow Wednesday, August 18.

  1. Armenia
  2. Austria
  3. Israel

  5. Maldives

  • For vaccinated travellers: They’ll have to take a PCR test on arrival, quarantine for 7 days and take a PCR test on the 6th day.
  • For unvaccinated travellers: They’ll have to take a PCR test on arrival, quarantine for 10 days and take a PCR test on the 9th day.

Thus far, only those vaccinated 28 days before the travel, with results showing on the Al Hosn app will qualify as ‘vaccinated’.

Etihad further announced that starting from August 20, vaccinations taken outside the UAE will also be permitted – including Sinopharm, Sinovac, Janssen, Pfizer, Sputnik V, Oxford-AstraZeneca and Moderna.
