All travellers arriving from the green list of destinations (vaccinated and unvaccinated) will be exempt from quarantine measures after landing in Abu Dhabi. They will be required to present a negative PCR Covid-19 test result, valid for a maximum of 48 hours before departure and undergo a PCR test upon arrival at Abu Dhabi International Airport.

Vaccinated passengers will need to take another PCR test on day 6, while those not vaccinated will need to take PCR tests on days 6 and 9. In September, the emirate scrapped the quarantine requirement for all vaccinated travellers arriving into Abu Dhabi from all international destinations.
