Abu Dhabi has updated its "green list" of countries and destinations from which travellers can enter the emirate without the need to quarantine on arrival.

The Maldives, Australia, Singapore, Greenland and the Falkland Islands are the latest additions to the list.

Originally published in December, the list is updated at least every two weeks with the most recent change taking place on Monday.

The addition of the Maldives opens up the archipelago for holidays from Abu Dhabi. The Indian island country was recently noted as the most popular holiday destination for Emirati travellers.

Which countries are on the list?

There are currently a total of 17 destinations on the list. They are:

Australia

Bahrain

Brunei

China

Falkland Islands

Greenland

Hong Kong

Maldives

Mauritius

Mongolia

New Zealand

Oman

Qatar

Saudi Arabia

Singapore

St. Kitts and Nevis

Thailand

Inclusion on Abu Dhabi's travel list is dependent on the latest developments regarding a country's Covid-19 protocols and guidelines. All international travellers to Abu Dhabi must present a negative PCR test result and take a second PCR test upon entering the capital.

Travellers from "green" destinations do not need to isolate once they receive a negative test result. Travellers from other countries need to self-isolate for 10 days.
