The rules for fully vaccinated visitors arriving in Ras Al Khaimah and the UAE were revised on February 26, 2022.
A pre-departure PCR test is no longer required if you are fully vaccinated, or:
Fully vaccinated visitors must present a readable QR code as proof of vaccination on arrival.
Those who are not vaccinated must show a negative PCR test conducted within 48 hours of departure or a recovery certificate with a QR code proving they have recovered from coronavirus within a month of the date of travel.
Travellers arriving in Dubai may still be required to undertake a COVID-19 PCR test on arrival and will have to isolate pending the result of the COVID-19 PCR test.
If you test positive for COVID-19 on arrival, depending on your symptoms and your accommodation plans, you may be required to self-isolate in a government facility, a hospital, your hotel or privately arranged accommodation for at least 10 days. In all circumstances, the test must be a COVID-19 PCR. Other test results including antibody tests are not accepted. As of February 26, 2022, close contacts of COVID-19-positive cases are no longer required to self-isolate.
