TOEFL scores valid for Australian visa
International Flights Latest News: Here comes a wonderful piece of news for the Indian travellers who plan to fly to UAE. As per the latest updates, the Indian travellers, who have a valid residency permit and are fully vaccinated — at least 14 days prior to the travel — can enter the UAE. As per a report by Mint, the National Emergency and Crisis Management Authority (NCEMA) said on Tuesday that the United Arab Emirates will lift the ban on entry of passengers from India and five other countries from 5 August.
The NCEMA , however, made it clear that the restrictions on travel from India to UAE are still in place, but the curbs will be eased for those Indians who have a valid residency permit and are fully vaccinated.
Moreover, the UAE government also made it clear that unvaccinated people in certain job categories can seek permission to return from the same date as well. Notably, the categories of the Indians who will get travel permission include medical workers, teachers at schools and universities in the Emirates, students, residents with extenuating circumstances, people undergoing medical treatment in the UAE and people who work for federal or local government agencies.
The report further stated the passengers will need to apply for online entry permits prior to travelling and would need to present a negative PCR test taken 48 hours prior to departure.
Apart from India, the UAE will also relax the restrictions on Pakistan, Nigeria, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Uganda.
Giving further details, the NCEMA said on Twitter that the passengers who are travelling from countries where flights had been suspended would be able to transit through its airports from Thursday as long as they present negative PCR tests taken 72 hours prior to departure.
