From September 12, all those with a valid residence visa will be allowed to return to the UAE, provided they have a World Health Organization-recognized vaccine.
Those moving include those from countries previously on a suspension list, as well as those who have been abroad for more than six months. The most recent change allows residence visa holders from the listed countries who were not vaccinated in the Emirates to travel.
Passengers from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Namibia, Zambia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Liberia, South Africa, Nigeria, and Afghanistan are covered by the decision.
The previous rules for the unvaccinated, including exempted categories, are still in effect, according to authorities.

For visit visas:
Passengers from any country who wanted to visit the UAE could apply for a visit visa starting August 30, as long as they were fully vaccinated with a WHO-approved shot.
AstraZeneca, Covishield, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, Sinopharm, and Sinovac vaccines are among those approved.
Dubai, which establishes its own immigration and coronavirus policies, does not require residents to be vaccinated before returning. They must, however, first obtain permission from the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA) or the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs before traveling.
