Dear i need your support for UAE entry.

i applied GCC entry permit by amer website. its approved.

during application process its ask for GCC trip detail.
the first option is

1. Arrival emirates.听 which is selected by default听 Dubai.
2. Arrival post. it can be change and i select Hatta Border.

now i ask from amer website online chatbox. they said you cant visit by this visa because its approved for Dubai not for Abu Dhabi.

can you guide me on this regard what i can do now

if you e-visa you can travel by road or air, there is no problem, if you have visa mean you have that country official entry document, so you either travel by air of by land its upto you.

Hi, could you please confirm if above 7 required PCR test? What I read in Emirates website is below 12 years no need for PCR test.

Hi Everyone,

I have read all the information in this thread and have travelled to Abu Dhabi by road with family twice before 2020 , Just want to know about the Al Hosan App as how will it get activated . During my visit via Abu Dhabi airport they took my PCR and I got the code on my mobile number taken at the airport to get the application activated. So is there any such process followed at land boarder ? . Appreciate any reply

Regards
Kashif

U have to do PCR TEST in Saudi before leaving to Dubai with negative result. Validity is 72 hours but cross check with hospital latest validity. They will ask your PCR TEST report at border.

I know thay Al hosn is not required to enter in UAE or Abu Dhabi but its required to enter any public places in Abu Dhabi there are lot restrictions without it , my question is are they going to take my PCR at boarder so that I could use this information to activate my Al Hosn App ?

@Eahmed89听

Hi Ahmed, Hope everything is fine. Can you please give me the contact details for the agent as I am travelling this month in Eid vacation to Dubai. I can get it through GDRFA Dubai but I am little confused if they will accept this through border. Because the port of entry is only Dubai airport or Hatta border. Please waiting for your reply. Thanks

@mkCapt听Hi, Did you apply for your visa online from GDRFA or ICA. Please share with us as I am confuse because GDRFA site is not showing land border name it shows only Dubai Airport and Hatta border, and the border which connects is guwaifat border to Abu Dhabi/Dubai. Please waiting for your soonest reply. Thanks & appreciate.

@Jerome DC - Glad to know that, I am actually planning to travel by road with family from Bahrain to Dubai (I have Saudi multiple entry visit visa). I was trying to apply GCC resident visit visa for UAE but it is not showing Ghuwaifat port or Sila port in list of "port of arrival", i can see that you mentioned you selected Hatta border, did it not create any trouble for you when entering UAE at Ghuwaifat port ?

Thank you very much.

No it did not. I just applied for a new visa and I did the same. It's what I always select. It doesn't show on the approved visa document.

Hi All,

I already reached Abu dhabi yesterday by road from Riyadh. The immigration was very easy and smooth. They didn鈥檛 even ask for vaccination or PCR test. We have to have car registration (istemara), visa copy, passport that鈥檚 all. We have to take car insurance for 210 Dirhams valid for 15 days.

Thanks for this forum which helped me a lot @jerome DC.

If anybody have any questions they are always welcome to ask.

I know I violated some traffic rules while in UAE. But they never came back to me. just always make sure you drive safe and obey the rules. But in case you did them unintentionally, you have nothing to worry about.
