— They must be fully vaccinated with two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine, in addition to the booster dose, if eligible.
— Emiratis who are medically exempted from receiving a Covid-19 vaccine.
— Those who have recovered from Covid-19 (within three months of recovery).

Those exempted will be validated on AlHosn app.
Authorities had earlier said that humanitarian cases and individuals travelling for medical and treatment purposes are also exempted from the ban.
Special cases and those mourning the death of a first-degree relative can get a travel permit by contacting the ministry at 800-444-44.
