The suspension of entry of all foreign nationals holding valid UAE residence visa will still be in effect for another two weeks, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation announced on April 2.
The Ministry urged those holding valid UAE visas and are staying outside the country to register in the “Tawajudi for Residents” Service, which has been recently launched through MoFAIC’s website to facilitate their safe return to the UAE in emergency situations.
This, as the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) announced its move to suspend all inbound and outbound passenger flights, as part of the precautionary measures taken by the UAE government to curb the spread of COVID-19.
GCAA said only passenger flights carrying UAE residents and tourists wishing to return back to their respective home countries have been temporarily allowed after ensuring all relevant precautionary measures required by the Ministry of Health and Prevention have been taken.
