Dubai entery reuqirements

3 years ago
Hello everyone,

I have secured a job in Dubai and am travelling out on 8th Feb. I am flying with Lufthansa from City Airport to Zurich and then onto Dubai International. I have a few questions, which I am hoping you can help me with:

- I understand I need to download the Covid 19 DXB smart app - Having trouble registering. I have tried both ways. I have an iPhone on IoS 12.5.4.
- As I have a contract with a company in Dubai, do i need health insurance?
- I need to have a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test taken at most 72 hours before departure from the first embarkation point (London). Does anyone have any recommendations as it needs to be laboratory accredited by the departure country.
- Is there anything else I need to consider?

Apologies for the long post and thank you for your help.
Emma.
