Traveling To Dubai - Present Guidelines

As of September 13, 2021, UAE is the most vaccinated country in the world, with more than 78% of its citizens being fully vaccinated against the virus. As a result, the city has opened its doors for B2B events, allowing for 100% occupancy and welcoming travelers from across the world.

As we look forward to hosting you in the city of Dubai in 2022, we would like to shed light on some of the salient travel regulations that have been put in place in the city to tackle COVID-19:

  • Dubai is now open to welcome all international travelers as there are no restrictions for travelers from any country to visit the city.
  • Fully vaccinated and unvaccinated travelers need to take an RT-PCR test but are not required to quarantine upon arrival. Moreover, travelers coming from green countries don't have to submit their RT-PCR reports.
  • Before departure, international travelers will be required to furnish a printed negative RT-PCR test with a QR code no more than 72 hours old.
  • UAE nationals don’t have to produce their test certificate except if they are visiting from another country. They will have to take a test upon arrival.
  • Passengers living with severe/moderate disabilities and children under 12 years are exempt from taking a test at the departure airport.

We request you to keep checking this page for updates as the COVID-19 situation progresses.
