Emirates: 19 Quarantine-Free Countries for Vaccinated UAE Residents

Dubai-based Emirates airline announced that UAE residents who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 can travel to 19 countries quarantine-free from June 7.

UAE residents can choose from over 30 cities to travel to without serving quarantine after Spain opened its borders to vaccinated international travellers.

“From July, Emirates will operate over 280 weekly flights from Dubai to cities in Europe, the US, Middle East, Africa, and other popular island getaways, for travellers who want to start their long-awaited adventures and experiences this summer without the hassle, cost or stress of quarantine,” the airline said.

International passengers must also complete the Health Control Form (FCS) online prior to arrival.

From June 7, tourists will be able to enter Spain if they have been fully vaccinated at least 14 days before the date of travel.

Travellers will need to physically provide their vaccination certificates upon arrival, and must have received vaccines authorised by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), or one of the vaccines included in the WHO's Emergency Use Listing. These include the Pfizer BioNTech, Sinopharm and Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccines.

With Spain opening its doors to tourism, UAE nationals and residents can now plan their holidays to 19 countries, quarantine free. https://t.co/yL8r7Lyggz #FlyEmiratesFlyBetter pic.twitter.com/eZ07RYshxY
