Attention UAE Expats: Safety Instructions and Official Information




​The UAE government has always been at the forefront of ensuring a safe living and working environment for people from all over the world. Under the current circumstances, the administration is ensuring all necessary safety measures for expatriates. Dear friends, there is no need to panic. By strictly following the laws and safety instructions of the UAE, we can overcome this situation together.

​Excellent Measures by the UAE Government

​The safety of the people is the UAE government's highest priority. The authorities are well-prepared to intervene efficiently in any emergency situation and provide all necessary assistance to the public. The country's security systems and healthcare infrastructure are functioning exceptionally well. If we act according to the government's instructions, we can stay here without fear.

​Social Media and Strict Regulations

​In these times, extreme caution is required when sharing information on social media. Please pay special attention to the following:

  • Videos and Photos: Do not take photos or videos in public places or security zones. This is a serious offense under UAE law.
  • Do Not Spread: Unofficial videos and photos should not be circulated on social media.
  • Concern for Families Back Home: False information on social media causes unnecessary worry to loved ones back home. Therefore, avoid sharing messages that cause panic.

​Do Not Believe Fake News

​Not all news appearing in the media is true. The circulation of false news and fake messages creates major problems.

  1. Official Sources Only: Rely only on official press releases from the UAE government (WAM) and official media channels for news.
  2. Verify: Do not forward messages to anyone without ensuring that they are true.
  3. Fearmongering and Disharmony: Do not believe or spread fake messages that create fear in the country or promote communal disharmony.

​Embassy Services

​If you need any assistance, you can contact the Indian Embassy or Consulate.
