Only passengers who have completed the Air Suvidha self-declaration form will be allowed to board. Children below 5 years of age are exempt from these rules.
The PCR Test facility at Abu Dhabi International Airport remains open at Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 as an optional service for passengers who want to activate their green pass on the Al Hosn App. The green pass is required to enter public areas, attractions, retail spaces, and other facilities in Abu Dhabi.
Effective from February 26 onwards, Abu Dhabi has eliminated its Green List and its quarantine requirements for international passengers. According to the Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee the Al Hosn green pass and EDE screening are no longer required for visitors entering Abu Dhabi from other Emirates. This rule is effective from Monday 28 February onwards. The Al Hosn Green pass system will still be effective for entry to public places, tourist attractions, all types of events including private events and government buildings.

After being scanned by an EDE, potentially positive COVID-19 cases will be referred to an on-site testing centre, where they will receive a free antigen test and results in less than 20 minutes.
EDE scanners use advanced technology to rapidly detect potential COVID-19 cases without storing personal information. The scanning system was developed by EDE Research Institute Abu Dhabi under the International Holding Company (IHC). The technology can detect a possible Covid-19 infection by measuring electromagnetic waves.
Many public facilities in the emirate already utilize EDE scanners to scan people, including malls, amusement parks, and cinemas.
To prevent the spread of the new COVID-19 variations, flights from Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe will be suspended beginning Monday, November 29.
