United Arab Emirates

Reviewed: 08 October 2008
Still current at: 14 October 2008

There is some risk to your security in the United Arab Emirates due to the threat from terrorism and we advise caution.

While the UAE has not experienced major terror attacks, there is an ongoing risk to Western interests and New Zealanders are advised to be security conscious at all times.  Care should be taken in public and commercial areas known to be frequented by Western expatriates or travellers. 

New Zealanders travelling or resident in the United Arab Emirates should have comprehensive medical and travel insurance policies in place.

New Zealand citizens travelling or resident in the United Arab Emirates are encouraged to register their details with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
