Travelling to UAE: 8 Categories of Passengers Allowed Entry from Restricted Countries

Travelling to UAE: 8 Categories of Passengers Allowed Entry from Restricted Countries

For instance, UAE Golden (10-year) and Silver Visa (5-year) holders cannot just book a ticket online and fly. They have to produce relevant documents like their passport and visa page to the airline office concerned.

If all the documents meet the eligibility criteria, they are then vetted by the relevant UAE authorities and approvals are sought. Only after that can they board a plane and fly.

The same goes for businessmen/businesswomen who, apart from providing the relevant documents like passport and visa page, have to provide their trade licence too. They can travel, provided they hold an approval from the General Authority for the Security of Ports, Borders and Free Zones, and heads of higher committees of the emergency, crisis and disaster management teams of the Emirate concerned.
