This approval can be obtained from the ICA website.
Residents who have received both doses of a Covid-19 vaccine in the UAE, health workers, teachers, humanitarian cases and those employed in federal and local government agencies are the new exemptions.
These exemptions are applicable for residents stranded in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Nigeria and Uganda.
For a returnee to come under the ‘fully vaccinated’ category, 14 days must have passed after the administration of the second dose. They must also hold a certificate to this effect.
