യുഎഇ വിമാനത്താവളത്തിലെ റാപിഡ് ടെസ്റ്റ് നിര്‍ത്തലാക്കി; കേരളത്തിലേക്കുള്ള യാത്രക്കാര്‍ പിപിഇ കിറ്റ് ധരിക്കണം

യുഇഎയില്‍ നിന്ന് കേരളത്തിലേക്ക് വന്നിരുന്ന യാത്രക്കാര്‍ക്ക് ഏര്‍പെടുത്തിയിരുന്ന ആന്റിബോഡി റാപിഡ് ടെസ്റ്റ് നിര്‍ത്തലാക്കി. ജൂലൈ ഒന്ന് മുതല്‍ യുഎഇയില്‍ നിന്ന് കേരളത്തിലേക്ക് പുറപ്പെടുന്ന യാത്രക്കാര്‍ക്ക് റാപിഡ് ടെസ്റ്റ് നടത്തില്ല. പകരം യാത്രക്കാര്‍ പി പി ഇ കിറ്റും എന്‍ 95 മാസ്‌കും ധരിക്കണമെന്ന കേരള സര്‍ക്കാറിന്റെ നിര്‍ദേശം കര്‍ശനമായി നടപ്പാക്കാന്‍ വിമാന കമ്പനികള്‍ക്കും വിമാനത്താളവ അധികൃതര്‍ക്കും യുഎഇ സര്‍ക്കാര്‍ നിര്‍ദേശം നല്‍കി. ചാര്‍ട്ടേഡ് വിമാനങ്ങള്‍ക്കും ഇത് ബാധകമാണ്. ഈ മാസം 26നാണ് റാപിഡ് ടെസ്റ്റ് നിര്‍ത്തലാക്കാന്‍ യുഎഇ തീരുമാനിച്ചത്.

കേരളത്തിലേക്കുള്ള യാത്രക്കാര്‍ക്ക് മാത്രമാണ് യുഎഇയില്‍ റാപിഡ് ടെസ്റ്റ് നടത്തിയിരുന്നത്. റാപിഡ് ടെസ്റ്റില്‍ നെഗറ്റീവ് ഫലം രേഖപ്പെടുത്തുന്നവര്‍ക്ക് മാത്രമേ വിമാനയാത്ര അനുവദിച്ചിരുന്നുള്ളൂ. ഇതിനിടെ, വിദേശത്ത് നിന്ന് എത്തുന്ന യാത്രക്കാര്‍ക്ക് വിമാനത്തില്‍ കയറുന്നതിന് മുമ്പ് ട്രൂനാറ്റ് പരിശോധന നടത്തണമെന്ന് കേരള സര്‍ക്കാര്‍ ആവശ്യപ്പെട്ടിരുന്നു. എന്നാല്‍ ഇത് അപ്രായോഗികമാണെന്ന് കണ്ട് കേന്ദ്രം തള്ളുകയായിരുന്നു.
പെട്ടെന്ന് ഫലം അറിയാനാകും എന്നതാണ് റാപിഡ് ടെസ്റ്റിന്റെ പ്രത്യേകത. റാപിഡ് ടെസ്റ്റ് പോസിറ്റീവാകുന്നവര്‍ക്ക് വിശദമായ പി സി ആർ പരിശോധന നടത്തി ഫലം ഉറപ്പിച്ചിരുന്നു.

അതിനിടെ, യുഎഇയിലെ മറ്റു എമിറേറ്റുകളില്‍ നിന്ന് അബൂദാബി വിമാനത്താവളത്തിലേക്ക് വരുന്ന യാത്രക്കാര്‍ 48 മണിക്കൂറിനുള്ളില്‍ എടുത്ത കൊവിഡ് പരിശോധനാ ഫലം കൈയില്‍ കരുതണമെന്ന് എയര്‍ ഇന്ത്യ എക്‌സ്പ്രസ് അധികൃതര്‍ നിര്‍ദേശിച്ചു.

രജിസ്ട്രേഷൻ നിർബന്ധം
വിദേശത്തു നിന്ന് ഇന്ത്യയിലേക്കു യാത്ര ആഗ്രഹിക്കുന്നവർ അതാതിടങ്ങളിലെ ഇന്ത്യൻ നയതന്ത്ര കാര്യാലയത്തിൽ രജിസ്റ്റർ ചെയ്യേണ്ടത് നിർബന്ധമാണെന്ന് കേന്ദ്ര വിദേശ കാര്യ മന്ത്രാലയം വ്യക്തമാക്കി.

പാസ്‌പോർട്ട് നമ്പർ, മൊബൈൽ നമ്പർ എന്നിവ രജിസ്‌ട്രേഷനിൽ ഉൾപെടണം. വന്ദേഭാരത് വിമാന ടിക്കറ്റുകൾ എയർ ഇന്ത്യ നേരിട്ട് നൽകാൻ തുടങ്ങിയപ്പോൾ നയതന്ത്ര കാര്യാലയത്തിലെ രജിസ്ട്രേഷൻ പലരും ഉപേക്ഷിച്ചത് ശരിയല്ല. ഇത്തരക്കാർക്ക് ടിക്കറ്റ് ഉണ്ടെങ്കിലും യാത്ര ചെയ്യാൻ കഴിയില്ല, വിദേശകാര്യ മന്ത്രാലയം ചൂണ്ടിക്കാട്ടി.

വിദേശ രാജ്യങ്ങളിൽനിന്നും കേരളത്തിലേക്ക് വരുന്നവർ നിർബന്ധമായും കോവിഡ് ജാഗ്രത പോർട്ടലിൽ പ്രീ രജിസ്റ്റർ ചെയ്യുക. 
മണിക്കൂറുകളോളം നീണ്ടു നിൽക്കുന്ന ക്യൂവിൽനിന്നും എളുപ്പം കടന്നുപോകാൻ സാധിക്കും. രജിസ്റ്റർ ചെയ്യാനുള്ള ലിങ്കും രീതിയും താഴെ കൊടുത്തിരിക്കുന്നു.

https://covid19jagratha.kerala.nic.in/home/pravasiEntry

Step 01
നിങ്ങളുടെ ഇന്ത്യൻ മൊബൈൽ നമ്പർ അല്ലെങ്കിൽ ഇമെയിൽ ഐഡി ടൈപ്പ് ചെയ്യുക. OTP കിട്ടിയാൽ അത് എന്റർ ചെയ്യുക.

Step 02
റെജിസ്ട്രേഷൻ  ഫോം അറിയാവുന്ന രീതിയിൽ മുഴുവൻ ഡീറ്റൈൽസും കൊടുത്തു പൂരിപ്പിക്കുക.

Step 03
ഒന്നിൽ കൂടുതൽ യാത്രക്കാരുണ്ടെങ്കിൽ "Add Family Member" എന്ന ഓപ്ഷൻ ക്ലിക്ക് ചെയ്തിട്ടു, വിവരം മുഴുവനായും പൂരിപ്പിക്കുക.

Step 04
എല്ലാം പൂരിപ്പിച്ചു കഴിഞ്ഞാൽ "Save All" ബട്ടൺ ക്ലിക്ക് ചെയ്യുക. അപ്പോൾ നിങ്ങളുടെ മൊബൈൽ/ഇമെയിൽ ഐഡി യിൽ ഒരു റെജിസ്ട്രേഷൻ നമ്പർ ലഭിക്കുന്നതായിരിക്കും.

Step 05
കേരളത്തിൽ എത്തിയാൽ  എയർപോർട്ടിലുള്ള വിവര ശേഖരണ ഡെസ്കിൽ നിങ്ങളുടെ റെജിസ്ട്രേഷൻ നമ്പർ പറഞ്ഞു കൊടുക്കുക. അല്ലെങ്കിൽ നിങ്ങൾക്കു കിട്ടുന്ന "Self Declaration Form"ന്  മുകളിലായി നമ്പർ രേഖപെടുത്തിയാലും മതി.

What is UAE economic substance rule?

How does then the new economic substance regulations apply to you?
Have you set up your company in line with the new UAE economic substance rules? If you have not yet, do it now – because if the looming deadline passes, which is today - June 30, be prepared to pay a hefty fine!
New regulations, which were implemented in the UAE for fiscal years commencing January 1, 2019 and onwards, were announced by the government the last year and encompasses several industries in the country.

 Under the new economic substance rules, whatever the type of business you run and area it is based in, your company’s senior management team must be based in the UAE. This means they need to operate from the country on a full-time basis – for the activity that the business is licensed to trade in.

 Regardless of the magnitude of your business - if you have a board, this means that meetings need to take place in the UAE. You will also need to be able to demonstrate these have been held on a regular basis – complete with ‘minutes’ to evidence this requirement.

 • Employ full-time staff in the UAE
Apart from you being based out of the UAE – which is a given if you’re a sole trader incorporating in the UAE – if your business falls into the government-specified category you’ll need to consider how you’re going to staff your new business.
Another factor that is made clear is that employees need to be physically present - regardless of the type of contract they have with your business.
What about Outsourcing?
Outsourcing some of your work is allowed, but you must be able to clearly prove the reasons behind this and provide a basis of whether the outsourced third party has adequate resources for carrying out the relevant activity.

 • Ensure your main income is generated within the UAE
One of the peak prospects of starting a business within the UAE is its exposure internationally and its proximity to Europe, Asia, and the wider Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region.

 If you run a free zone business not all your clients can be based locally, that is widely understood. But if not operating a free zone operation, according to the economic substance rules, while not all your clients need to be based out of the country, the actual work should be conducted from within the UAE.
What that means is, your client can be based overseas but your main place of work – and the location where it is carried out – should be the UAE.

 Here is an Example
In the case of shipping companies it means activities such as hiring, paying and overseeing crew members and overhauling ships should be conducted by a ‘licensee in the state’ – in other words, someone holding the correct government-issued trade license.

 • Own assets and spend on local business services
The UAE’s income and corporate tax-free environment brings in varied business types and also an array of services, which is why entrepreneurs setting up shop here have several possible providers and third party suppliers to work with.

 Placing this into consideration, the economic substance rules make it a requirement that relevant entities incur an adequate amount of operating expenditure in the UAE.

How to start a Business in Dubai?

Starting a business in Dubai is becoming quicker and easier than ever.

In this article we are going to give you the step-by-step procedure on how to start a business in Dubai.

Department of Economic Development-DED is the concerned authority for licensing a business in Dubai.

Broadly, there are two jurisdictions in Dubai for conducting business: Dubai 'mainland' and more than 20 economic free zones like Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai Airport Free Zone.

Mainland and free zones offer different advantages depending on your business type and activities. 

If you choose to conduct business in Dubai mainland, you will need to register with DED, which will issue you a business license.

The first step in the process of issuing a license is determining the activity type which identifies legal form options and parties associated with that activity. There are more than 2,100 business activities​ available in Dubai, which fall into different classes and groups: industrial, commercial, professional and tourism activities.

The license type is associated with the activity type, thus if the activity type of the license is professional, then the license should be professional as well. When the license combines several activities, the largest activity which is the industrial activity is taken into consideration followed by the commercial activity and then the professional one. For example, if a license contained both commercial and professional activities, the type of the license should be commercial since it’s the larger activity (not applicable for ​​tourism activities).

Please note that some of the business activities require approvals from government bodies other than Dubai DED.
Consultations​ (include three types):

 DED-related activities:
Business activities of firms that can’t take a limited liability company as a legal form.
Business activities of firms that can take either a sole proprietorship or a civil works company as legal form.
Business owner or director must join AUD program for qualifying directors in consultancy domain.
For the foreign companies interested in the consultations activity, the director must join AUD program for qualifying directors in consultancy domain.

Dubai Municipality-related engineering activities:
Include engineering activities only.
Business activities of firms that can’t take a limited liability company as a legal form.
Business activities of firms that can take either a sole proprietorship or a civil works company as legal form.
Business activities of firms whose parties (owners/ partners/ managers) should be holding a university degree or having an equivalent experience in the required consultation activity.
A local service agent agreement is not required for the engineering activities.
The foreign engineering consultancy offices can open branches without having to appoint a corporate agent.​

Legal consultations activities:
Should receive an approval from Legal Affairs Department before obtaining the initial approval and the trade name from DED.
The foreign legal consultation offices can open branches without having to appoint a corporate agent​.

Remarks:
There are other consultancy activities that are subject to the approval of governmental bodies.
The consultancy activities can have any legal form but only after the approval of the bodies governing the activity.​

General Trading:
Through this activity, all kinds of commercial activities that does not require approval of other bodies can be done in the same place. It doesn’t include activities that require approvals from external bodies unless an NOC is obtained, examples of these activities are: jewelry, magazines and newspapers trade. 
The general trading activity can include all kinds of direct commercial activities if approved by the concerned bodies. For instance, it can include telecommunications trade activity if approved by the Telecomm​unications Regulatory Authority​.
AED 15,000 fees are charged in the following cases:
License issuance.
Changing the activity into a general trade activity.
Upon the license renewal, AED 3,000 are charged per year.

Investment: 
The company can’t have the sole proprietorship legal form.
Branches of different kinds of licenses (professional, commercial, and industrial) can be opened only if they are branches of the parent company.
Any economic activity can’t be performed through this activity; however, other companies’ shares can be owned and branches can be opened. 
The term “group” or “​hol​ding​” can be used in the trade name for this activity.
AED 15,000 fees are charged for the investment activity in its different kinds in the following cases:

License issuance.
Changing the activity into any kind of investment activity.
Upon the license renewal, AED 3,000 are charged per year.

Companies and Institutions Management:
This activity authorizes the management of any company or institution related to one individual only as long as the licenses are not less than 3.
It is not authorized to manage companies and institutions belonging to others.
The term “group” can be u​sed in the trade name such as: “BNB Group”.

Do I need a COVID-19 test before flying out of UAE?

Depending on which emirate your are flying out of, the requirement may change.

 According to NCEMA, passengers travelling out of the UAE need to get a COVID-19 test done 48 hours before travelling.

 If you are flying out of Dubai, though, guidelines by Dubai Media Office do not mention the requirement.

 The COVID-19 test will only be for passengers arriving at Dubai airports from other destinations.

 Guidelines for arrivals in Dubai refer to how passengers would need to get a PCR test upon arrival at Dubai airports.

 Tourists have the option of showing a PCR test, valid for 96 hours or carry out a test at Dubai airports.

 PCR test must be taken upon your return, with a 14-day quarantine imposed if you test positive.

 Guidelines for Dubai residents returning to the UAE
You need an approval from the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) in Dubai.

 Visa holders from other emirates would still need to get approvals through the Federal Authority of Identity and Citizenship (ICA) before travelling to the UAE.
Emirates airlines is operating limited passenger flights to carry residents from selected destinations back to Dubai. These are the guidelines issued by the carrier.

 You can apply for the GDRFA approval from the Emirates website.
If you are a Dubai resident, contact Emirates Call Centre (600 555555) for any help with your booking and application for approval to travel. 

 Or you can complete the application independently on GDRFA website directly. The link is given below.
https://smart.gdrfad.gov.ae/Smart_OTCServicesPortal/ReturnPermitService.aspx

 What is the Resident File Number?
When you fill GDRFA form, you will be asked to enter your resident file number which is 15 digit file number mentioned on the visa stamped on your passport.
You will receive an instant response if the application is approved. If not, you can try again later.

 Do not book a flight ticket unless you receive the GDRFA approval.
Make sure you have a copy of GDRFA approval email with you when you book Emirates ticket.

 You would need to fill in a health declaration form and a quarantine undertaking form as well. Both forms need to be printed, completed and handed over to Dubai Health Authority staff at arrival.

 The quarantine undertaking form will only go into effect if you need to undergo quarantine. 

 Once you reach Dubai, you will undergo a PCR test at the airport and you are required to stay in quarantine until you receive the test result. If you test positive, you will need to stay in quarantine for 14 days.

 You must also download the Alhosn app. Read more about it here:

 If you do not have health insurance, you need to sign an undertaking that you will bear any cost of COVID-19 treatment and quarantine.

 Flights from India
According to a circular issued by India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (GDCA) on June 26, 2020, commercial flights will remain suspended until July 15.
People who had booked flights will be able to use the tickets when flight operations resume.

GoAir will be allowing customers to re-book their tickets within a year.
