At least 19 countries now offer quarantine-free access to travellers from the UAE.

Spain is the latest destination to open up to fully vaccinated UAE nationals and residents.

From June 7, tourists will be able to enter Spain if they have been inoculated at least 14 days before the date of travel.

According to Emirates Airline, travellers will need to physically provide their vaccination certificates upon arrival, and must have received vaccines authorised by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), or one of the vaccines included in the WHO's Emergency Use Listing (including Pfizer BioNTech, Sinopharm and Oxford/AstraZeneca).
