Abu Dhabi updates travel green list, adds Indonesia

Officials in Abu Dhabi have revised the travel green list of countries, region and territories from where incoming passengers do not need to quarantine upon arrival.

Effective September 6, 2021, a single country – Indonesia – has been added to the existing list which will now include a total of 56 destinations.

Last week, the Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee scrapped the quarantine requirement for all vaccinated travellers arriving into the emirate from all international destinations.

Vaccinated citizens, residents and visitors coming from green destinations must take a PCR test on arrival without the need to quarantine, and undergo another test on day 6, if staying in the emirate.

Those arriving from other destinations must also take a PCR test on arrival without the need to quarantine, and repeat tests on days 4 and 8.

Meanwhile, unvaccinated citizens, residents and visitors, including those exempt from vaccination, arriving into Abu Dhabi from green list destinations must take a PCR test on arrival, without the need to quarantine, and repeat PCR tests on days 6 and 9. Those arriving from other destinations must take a PCR test on arrival, quarantine for 10 days and undergo another PCR test on day 9.

All travellers, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, will be required to present a negative PCR test result from within 48 hours of departure, before boarding for Abu Dhabi.
