Before you can fly to Abu Dhabi, you must apply for ICA approval. The service will ask for your flight booking reference, though this field is not mandatory and can be left blank.

If you’re having difficulty following up on your application to return to the UAE, you can call the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship on + 971 600 522222.
