Passengers coming from these 10 countries must submit a valid negative Covid-19 PCR test certificate with a QR code issued within 48 hours of the time the sample was collected from an approved health facility. They must also submit a rapid PCR test report with a QR code for a test conducted at the departure airport within six hours of departure.
Hi Ramiz, newly-issued residence visas don't require GDRFA or ICA approval. Being vaccinated is also not mandatory. Please check https://t.co/zszaVqp1oD. You'll see the requirements to travel to Dubai from Pakistan under "Residence visa holders travelling to Dubai".
