What is the Green Pass system?

Under the Green Pass system, only those individuals whose status is ‘green’ on the Al Hosn app, will be permitted to enter public places. You will be required to show your Al Hosn app for verification of the status of your vaccination against COVID-19 and the validity of your RT-PCR test result in order to gain entry to public offices and venues. The aim of the protocol is to ease restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and enhance safe movement and tourism in the country.

Throughout the UAE

There are six categories of ‘green’ status on the Al Hosn app, depending on the completion of your vaccination and validity of your RT-PCR test result. The six categories are:

1. Green for 30 days – Individuals who are vaccinated having received their second dose at least 28 days earlier or are volunteers in vaccine trials, for them the Al Hosn app will appear green for 30 days from the last RT-PCR test they did, provided the test result was negative. Additionally, the active icons of letter E and a gold star will be displayed for seven days. So, to maintain a green status, such individuals must do an RT-PCR test every 30 days and the result should be negative each time. As per the latest update, the duration is reduced to 14 days.
2. Green for 14 days - Individuals who are vaccinated having received their second dose less than 28 days earlier, for them, the Al Hosn app will appear green for 14 days from the last RT-PCR test they did provided the test result was negative.
3. Green for 7 days - Individuals who have received their first dose and are waiting for their second dose appointment, for them, the Al Hosn app will appear green for 7 from the last RT-PCR test they did provided the test result was negative.
4. Green for 7 days - Individuals with certificates for exemption from taking the vaccine against COVID-19, for them, the Al Hosn app will show green for 7 days from the last RT-PCR test they did provided the test result was negative.
5. Green for 3 days - Individuals who have received their first dose and have exceeded the gap to receive their second dose by 48 days or more, or them, the Al Hosn app will appear green for 3 days from the last RT-PCR test they did provided the test result was negative.
6. Green for 3 days - Individuals who are not vaccinated, but do not have vaccine exemptions, for them, the Al Hosn app will show green for 3 days from the last RT-PCR test they did provided the test result was negative.

For all the above categories, the Al Hosn status will turn grey when the validity of the RT-PCR test ends. The status will turn red if the test result is positive.

MoHaP has allowed federal and local authorities to determine the use of Al Hosn app according to their individual needs and procedures to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all.
