Six countries including Pakistan have been allowed to travel to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on tourist visas.


The Gulf state issued rules and regulations in this regard. Citizens from Pakistan, Nepal, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, India and Uganda can visit Dubai on tourist visas.
Tourists from these countries can go to Dubai, but not directly, as they are required to stay in another country for 14 days before arriving in Dubai, according to the flydubai website.
The PCR test criteria are based on the country from where the passenger departs.
The air travellers must have approval from the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA).
They are also required to provide the printed copy of a negative COVID-19 PCR test with an English or Arabic QR code taken not more than 48 hours before departure.
A quick PCR test must also be taken at the airport six hours before flying and then at the Dubai International Airport.
However the members of diplomatic, economic and scientific missions, UAE nationals, UAE Golden Visa holders and travellers exempt and/or authorised by the proper authorities to enter the UAE are expemted.
