Recently the Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis, and Disasters Committee updated the procedures to enter the emirate from within the UAE, for vaccinated individuals, including citizens, residents, and visitors
This was put into effect from Friday, August 20!
Those who are vaccinated or are participating in a clinical trial, no longer need to complete a DPI or PCR test to enter Abu Dhabi, however, presenting a green pass and an active E or star icon on the Alhosn app is mandatory. To obtain an E or star icon in the app, you must take a PCR test once every 7 days, and no further testing after entering the emirate will be required if you’re remaining in the emirate.
For those who are not vaccinated, the procedure to enter Abu Dhabi remains the same. A PCR test within 48 hours of entry or DPI within 24 hours will be required as well as multiple additional tests if remaining in the emirate.
