The UAE has announced that Indians, Pakistanis, Nepalese, Ugandans and Nigerians with valid visas can return to the Emirates after securing prior approval from the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA).

The ICA website is expected to update soon to enable expatriates to apply for an entry permit in line with new exemption rules.

Additionally, travellers would need to apply for online entry permits before travelling and would also need to present a negative PCR test taken 48 hours before departure.
