Additional precautions for arrivals from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of Uganda, and the Republic of South Sudan have been announced by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) and the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA). The actions are a part of the UAE’s proactive and preventive efforts to improve national readiness and react to Ebola-related developments.
According to the two administrations, starting at 13:00 on Saturday, June 6, 2026, all new visas, including visitation visas, will not be issued to citizens of the three nations. Cargo flights between the UAE and the three nations will operate as usual, but the decision is open to extension. Additionally, the authorities declared that visitors from the nations on the list would not be allowed entry into the United Arab Emirates. This covers visitors who enter the UAE by transit through one or more other nations, unless they have been away from the listed nations for more than 21 days prior to their arrival. These actions won’t have an impact on transit flight operations.
In collaboration with regional and global partners, the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security and the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority reiterated that they will keep an eye on Ebola-related events. In accordance with risk assessments and authorized health standards, they will also evaluate its effects on any other nations and take the appropriate action.
