The approved process allows entry for those vaccinated with green status on the Alhosn App, which appears after a negative COVID-19 PCR test result and is valid for 30 days. Entry is also allowed for those exempted from vaccination with green status on Alhosn App, which appears after a negative COVID-19 PCR test result and is valid for seven days. Children under 16 years old whose status will appear as green on the Alhosn App without the testing requirement will also be allowed entry. Unvaccinated individuals and those with grey status on the Alhosn App, which reflects an expired COVID-19 PCR test, are prohibited from entering public places. Public spaces have been detailed as the following: shopping centres, restaurants, cafés, and all other retail outlets, including those not within a shopping centre, as well as gyms, recreational facilities and sporting activities, health clubs, resorts, museums, cultural centres, and theme parks. The list also includes universities, institutes, public and private schools, and children’s nurseries in the emirate of Abu Dhabi. Vaccination certificate verification Before departure, visitors need to register in the Register Arrivals section of the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA) app, complete the register arrivals form and upload an international vaccination certificate. Visitors will then receive an SMS, including a link to download the Alhosn App. Upon arrival in Abu Dhabi, visitors will receive a Unified Identification Number (UID) either at the airport or via the ICA app or website. Visitors will then need to download and register on the Alhosn App using the UID and phone number used for ICA registration or when taking a COVID-19 PCR test in the UAE. Visitors will receive a one-time password (OTP) to complete the Alhosn App registration process. The Alhosn App allows users to check status, vaccination information, test results and travel test requirements, and use a live QR code. These tests and processes are a legal requirement and those failing to follow this process are liable for fines. Find out where to get tested in Dubai before you enter Abu Dhabi.
