United Arab Emirates' flagship carrier Etihad Airways recently announced new rules for passengers arriving from 'Green List' countries and other destinations to avail visa on arrival facility.

Recently Abu Dhabi announced that travellers can enter the country if they are citizens or residents of the United Arab Emirates, or if they are eligible for a visa on arrival.
