Requirements for Indian Passengers for flying to Dubai

On Saturday, the government of Dubai in the UAE has announced relaxation of travel restrictions from countries including India. The restrictions are relaxed for travel from India, Nigeria and South Africa with effect from June 23. 

With regard to travel from India, only passengers with a valid residence visa who have received two doses of a UAE-approved vaccine, are allowed to travel to Dubai. There are four vaccines approved by the UAE government — Sinopharm, Pfizer-BioNTech, Sputnik V and Oxford-AstraZeneca.

Eligible passengers travelling from India to Dubai should also present a negative test certificate from an RT-PCR test taken 48 hours before departure; UAE nationals are exempted from this requirement. They must also undergo another RT-PCR test on arrival in Dubai.
