Road Travel from Riyadh to UAE - 2021

Dear i need your support for UAE entry.

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

Hello there ,
Thanks for your valuable inputs .

I have plans to travel by road soon .My query is that children below age 5 needs PCR test mandatory ?

Thanks in advance for the replies

No children below 7 not needed PCR

Hi,
I Got my visa but not through GDRFA.. I got it from an agent.. I just want to make sure is it valid visa.. I mean it is ok on border.. I am here in Riyadh right now...

What kind of visa is this ? Tourist or GCC resident

Hi Bro, Saudi driving license is enough to through car, it there is any regulation

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.

For clarification, 3 days ago I have reached dubai via road from Saudi.
I got reconfirmed that COVID test not required for kids below 12 years.

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

Al hosan not required traveling by land to UAE, you need just PCR

Just wanted to know how the Alhosn app will be activated for travelers coming via land boarders will they take PCR test just like they do at airport ?

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 ?

@mkCapt 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.

@adilayub86 Hi, did you travel on that visa by road. Please share your experience. Thanks

@Jerome DC I am also travelling on 27 of April 2022.

@Jerome DC

Hi, do we need salik (toll charges) for our cars or no need. I am staying for 20 days. Please reply.

You don't have to. I never did.

@Jerome DC

@Jerome DC

@aryan M If I am fully vaccinated from Saudi Arabia, do I still required to do the PCR test before I travel to UAE by road?

To All,

I am travelling again to UAE this coming EID. It's easier now than how it was when I created this topic.

- @Jerome DC

Kabayan, when do you plan to travel this EID? We are also traveling. Would be good to have some company.

@rajeshh294

@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.

@maq_72004 do they need original istemara or digital copy is enough.

@daimi143x

Hi All,

I already reached Abu dhabi yesterday by road from Riyadh. The immigration was very easy and smooth. They didn't even ask for vaccination or PCR test. We have to have car registration (istemara), visa copy, passport that's 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.

- @maq_72004

@Jerome DC

Thanks & appreciate

One more question if you don't mind. What about the traffic violations. Do they take violations when you comeback from border if any. Thanks
