Emirates does away with COVID-19 jab certificate for UAE residents from India
UAE residents flying in from India and five other nations are no longer required to present COVID-19 vaccination certificate for entry, the country’s flag carrier Emirates announced on Tuesday. All passengers with a valid UAE residence visa are allowed to travel to and through Dubai from India, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Uganda, provided they have a valid COVID-19 test certificate issued within 48 hours between the time of sample collection and scheduled flight departure, the Gulf News reported.
Dubai visa holders must apply for a pre-entry approval through the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA), it said.
