Transit flights from India, Pakistan, and other nations will be allowed into the UAE.

DUBAI: The United Arab Emirates’ National Emergency and Crisis Management Authority (NCEMA) said on Tuesday that the restriction on transit passenger travel from India, Pakistan, Nigeria, and other countries will be lifted on August 5.

Due to the coronavirus epidemic, the United Arab Emirates, a key international travel hub, has barred travellers from several South Asian and African nations for several months.


Passengers travelling from countries whose flights have been halted will be permitted to transit via NCEMA airports starting Thursday if they produce negative PCR tests taken 72 hours prior to departure, according to NCEMA on Twitter.

The body said that final destination permission would be required, and that UAE departure airports would set up separate lounges for transiting travellers.

Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Uganda were all included in the transit restriction.

According to NCEMA, the restriction on travellers from these countries entering the UAE would be lifted for individuals with proper residency and who have been verified as completely vaccinated by Emirati authorities.

They would, however, need to apply for online entry permits ahead of time and submit a negative PCR test taken 48 hours before departure.
