The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has eased travel restrictions for vaccinated South Africans, allowing applications for tourist visas from people from all countries, provided they are fully vaccinated with one of the WHO-approved Covid-19 vaccines.
South Africans arriving on tourist visas must still take a mandatory rapid PCR test at the airport. “The previous rules for unvaccinated, including exempted categories, remain in place,” it said.
The change means that passengers will be allowed to travel to their final destination through Dubai from South Africa – subject to specific requirements.
