As Dubai prepares to open the Expo 2020 fair on October 1 after a year-long delay due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the travel ban was lifted. The Federal Authority For Identity and Citizenship (ICA)’s website will be the place where residents will need to apply for residency when they arrive in the UAE. Additionally, vaccination applications will have to be completed for approval as well. When they depart for the UAE, they must present the vaccination certification.

Before departing, they must also produce a negative PCR test result at an approved laboratory with a QR code that was completed within 48 hours of departure. In compliance with all precautionary measures in place, passengers will undergo a Rapid PCR test before boarding and another one on the fourth and eighth day of arrival.
