The UAE has announced that fully vaccinated holders of valid residence visa will be allowed to come back from the countries previously on the suspended list, starting from Sept. 12, 2021, the Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported. The ICA and NCEMA on Friday said that even resident visa holders who have stayed out of the country for more than six months can now return. “UAE allows return of fully vaccinated (WHO-approved vaccines) holders of valid residence visa, including those who stayed abroad for over six months, starting from Sept. 12, 2021,” the statement said. The valid residency permit holders should be vaccinated with a vaccine approved by the World Health Organization (WHO). On Sept. 5, Abu Dhabi lifted the 10-day quarantine requirement for residents who are fully vaccinated or arriving from a green list country.
