Pakistanis can visit Dubai without rapid antigen test report

Pakistanis privileged to visit Dubai without rapid antigen test report

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) notified that the Pakistanis travelling to Dubai will no longer be required to show the report of a rapid antigen test upon their arrival.

The passengers arriving from Pakistan will only need to present a valid negative Covid-19 PCR test certificate with a QR code linked to the original report for verification purposes, for a test conducted within 48 hours. Validity should be calculated from the time the sample was collected, prior to departure from an approved health facility.

The passengers would have to undergo another PCR test taken at Dubai airport upon arrival, and self-isolate themselves until they would be tested negative.

Moreover, the passengers transiting through Dubai are not required to present a COVID 19‑PCR test certificate unless it is mandated by their final destination.

The aforementioned relaxation in travel restrictions is also applicable for passengers flying from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India (all cities except for Kolkata), and Sri Lanka.
