Passengers from a number of South Asian countries have been barred from entering the UAE.
The prohibition on transit passenger traffic from India, Pakistan, Nigeria, and other countries will be lifted on August 5, according to the UAE's National Emergency and Crisis Management Authority (NCEMA).
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the United Arab Emirates, a key international travel hub, has prohibited passengers from numerous South Asian and African countries for several months.
Passengers travelling from countries where flights have been suspended will be able to transit through the department's airports beginning Thursday if they submit negative PCR tests taken 72 hours prior to departure, according to the department's Twitter account.
The body added that final destination authorisation would be required, and that UAE departure airports would set up separate lounges for transiting travellers.
Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Uganda were all included in the transit prohibition.
According to the department, the prohibition on travellers from these countries entering the UAE would be lifted for people with valid residency and who have been verified as completely vaccinated by Emirati officials.
They would, however, need to apply for online entry permits ahead of time and provide a negative PCR test taken 48 hours before departure.
