Now, there's no need to apply for travel ban to be lifted as the process will be done automatically once a case is resolved, the UAE's Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said in its latest advisory.

The required procedures to get one's travel ban removed had been slashed from nine to zero, the ministry said in a short video. Previously, clearance and some supporting documents should be submitted for the ban's cancellation — now, these are no longer necessary.

The MoJ will immediately take action on a travel ban removal order, with the processing time cut down from one working day to just a few minutes.

The ministry said the initiative is part of the UAE’s Zero Government Bureaucracy programme , which was launched early this year with an aim to “raise the effectiveness of federal government services by removing bureaucratic hurdles".

Both judicial authorities in Abu Dhabi and Dubai have also automated the cancellation of travel bans once pending fines are settled.

7 Countries That Have Strict No-Tattoo Policies

You’ve reached your account maximum for followed topics.

• Many countries have strict no-tattoo policies; be aware of cultural and religious laws before traveling.
• In countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, cover up tattoos to show respect and avoid offending locals.
• Buddhist-themed tattoos are strictly forbidden in countries like Sri Lanka and Myanmar, leading to potential deportation.

Many of us live in areas that promote freedom of expression, including how we choose to decorate our bodies. As a result, we often find it difficult to wrap our heads around the fact that other places on this gorgeous planet are not as permissive, with some countries even having dangerous laws for tourists .

In fact, in addition to having strict laws about appropriate apparel in public or religious buildings of note, many countries have strong policies about which types of body art are (and aren't) permissible.

Below are several countries with strict no-tattoos policies. Some frown upon any type of visible tattoos whatsoever, while others focus more on the imagery that's depicted. If you're well-inked and have plans to do some traveling in the future, be sure to educate yourself ahead of time so you know where and when to cover up.

9 Ways To Get Banned From A Cruise Ship

No one wants to get kicked off a cruise ship; avoid doing these big no-nos when on a cruise ship in order to enjoy your trip!

7 Saudi Arabia

Cover your ink if you'll be visiting saudi arabia any time soon.

Sunni Islam is the official religion of Saudi Arabia, and its judicial system is based on Islamic Sharia law. According to Sharia, it is haram (forbidden or unlawful) to tattoo one's body . As you can imagine, being inked is quite frowned upon in this country. If your tattoos aren't on your face or hands, travel authorities recommend that you cover your tattoos whenever you're out in public.

Fortunately, since modesty is essential when traveling in Saudi Arabia, which is world-famous for its impressive archeological sites , it's easy to keep all of your tattoos covered during your stay there. Aim for full body coverage any time you're outside your hotel room, and you should be fine.

6 United Arab Emirates

Expect social restrictions in the uae if you have visible tattoos.

Although some areas in the UAE are slightly more permissive than Saudi Arabia (such as Bahrain and Dubai), that doesn't mean they've embraced Western perspectives on visible tattoos. While having inked skin isn't illegal here per se , tattooing is still considered bodily mutilation under Islamic law and, as such, is looked down upon as immoral.

You aren't going to get kicked out of the UAE for having ink, but having visible tattoos on your face or hands can prevent you from being allowed into buildings such as mosques and other religious sites. Familiarize yourself with the dos and don'ts when traveling in Asia (with emphasis on the Middle East) so that you have a good idea of how to dress modestly, how to behave in public, etc.

Additionally, most companies in the region will refuse to hire people with visible tattoos, so if you're inked and looking for a job somewhere like Dubai, you might want to get those removed first.

You can always contact the UAE embassy in your area to get up-to-date information on tattoo policies. Consider doing this before you travel in order to ensure that you comply with the country's rules and restrictions.

Not all tattoos are illegal, but some may be deemed offensive

Although some politicians aimed to completely ban tattooing in Iran back in 2018, recent laws have made the guidelines a bit more lenient. As such, tattooing — although frowned upon as haram — isn't illegal per se, as long as the ink isn't considered to be offensive.

For example, as long as the symbols aren't considered Satanic, and don't promote anti-Islamic culture , they're tolerated... provided they aren't flaunted in public.

Opinions will differ between Sunni and Shia populations, with some believing that sacred tattoos that celebrate their faith aren't haram at all. That said, when traveling through any Muslim country, it's always best to err on the side of modesty and cover your body as best you can. There's little chance for potential offense if your ink isn't visible to anyone.

Although many people are aching to travel to Iran to see its ancient treasures like Persepolis , the current climate in the Middle East has enforced a level four "DO NOT TRAVEL" advisory for all U.S. and Canadian citizens. For a while now, Iran has been among the many countries where Americans are at risk of kidnapping .

This country has a complex relationship with tattooing

Turkey seems to wax and wane as far as its progressive policies. Fairly recently, devout clergy issued a fatwa against tattoos , encouraging inked Muslims to either have their tattoos removed or leave the country. This has been seen as quite extreme by the majority of the country's population, although some schools now forbid tattooed or pierced students from attending.

As far as tourists go, however, nobody is going to be banned from entering Turkey for having tattoos. As long as they aren't offensively anti-Muslim or explicitly sexual or obscene in nature, you should be fine. Just be sure to cover them up if you're planning to visit any of the country's holy places, such as the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque .

The Blue Mosque is one of the most enduring monuments of the Ottoman Empire and is one of the top attractions in Istanbul today.

3 Sri Lanka

No buddhist tattoos are permitted within its borders.

Sri Lanka is a tropical paradise that's absolutely gorgeous to visit, provided that you don't have any Buddhist-themed tattoos. This country is very serious about its national religion and considers Buddhist iconography sacrosanct.

As such, getting Buddhist symbols or images tattooed is strictly forbidden, and having one can get you deported from the country after a brief stint in prison. Your Rick and Morty full-sleeve tattoo should be fine, though.

7 Countries Americans Can't Travel To

Americans can travel to many exotic places around the globe. Some countries, however, are off-limits.

Where a Buddha tattoo can get you deported

Just like Sri Lanka, Myanmar (Burma) is a much-loved country to visit among tourists . It's also a fervently Buddhist country that takes its official religion very seriously.

While tattooing in general is fairly common in various parts of the country, having Buddhist iconography — especially a Buddha head tattoo — is incredibly frowned upon.

In fact, in 2016, a Spanish tourist who had a Buddha tattoo on his leg ended up getting deported because the ink on his body was considered too offensive.

Residents Of These Countries Prefer That You Don't Visit

Overtourism in popular destinations is sparking protest from residents and prompting action from governments. These spots are some of the worst hit.

Be prepared to be denied entry to many public attractions

While Japan isn't going to ban a tattooed person from entering the country, those who have inked skin should brace themselves to be turned away from certain public zones and attractions. Beaches, public pools, hot springs, saunas, and spas are the primary areas where tattoos are not permitted .

This is because tattooing is primarily associated with the Yakuza — the country's organized crime syndicate. As a result, these public spaces often ban inked folks in an attempt to avoid any unpleasantness, be it anxiety and offense from patrons, or potential violence.

While tattooed folks may be banned at Japanese onsens (hot springs) and public baths, often found in traditional Japanese ryokans , there are plenty of outdoor spaces where they're wholly welcome. For example, the beaches close to military bases are often full of foreign troops who are inked from head to toe. If you're staying in an upscale hotel in Okinawa, check with the concierge to find out if tattoos are banned in the hotel pool, so you won't get embarrassed if you try to go for a swim and get kicked out.

It's important to note that there aren't any countries that will deny a person a visa solely for having tattoos, but inked travelers should use discretion and common sense during their sojourns. When in doubt, cover up.

How Did Mpox Become a Global Emergency? What’s Next?

The virus is evolving, and the newest version spreads more often through heterosexual populations. Sweden reported the first case outside Africa.

• Share full article

By Apoorva Mandavilli

Apoorva Mandavilli covered the 2022 mpox outbreak and the Covid-19 pandemic.

Faced once again with a rapidly spreading epidemic of mpox, the World Health Organization on Wednesday declared a global health emergency. The last time the W.H.O. made that call was in 2022, when the disease was still called monkeypox.

Ultimately the outbreak affected nearly 100,000 people worldwide, primarily gay and bisexual men, including more than 32,000 in the United States.

The W.H.O.’s decision this time was prompted by an escalating crisis of mpox concentrated in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It recently spread to a dozen other African countries. If it is not contained, the virus again may rampage all over the world, experts warned.

On Thursday, Sweden reported the first case of a deadlier form of mpox outside Africa , in a person who had traveled to the continent. “Occasional imported cases like the current one may continue to occur,” the country’s public health agency warned.

“There’s a need for concerted effort by all stakeholders, not only in Africa, but everywhere else,” Dr. Dimie Ogoina, a Nigerian scientist and chair of the W.H.O.’s mpox emergency committee, said on Wednesday.

Congo alone has reported 15,600 mpox cases and 537 deaths, most of them among children under 15, indicating that the nature of the disease and its mode of spread may have changed.

Here’s what to know.

Is this the virus we saw in 2022?

This is a different version of the mpox virus.

Mpox is a close relative of the smallpox virus. There are two main types: Clade I, the version that is dominant in Congo, and Clade II, a form of which caused the 2022 global outbreak. (A clade is a genetically and clinically distinct group of viruses.)

Clade I mpox is generally thought to cause more severe illness and to have a much higher mortality rate, which is one reason the W.H.O. is sounding the alarm now. Officials hope to contain this outbreak before it spreads to other continents.

The infection may resemble an ordinary respiratory illness at first but later blooms into a raised rash in the mouth, hands, feet or genitals. The virus spreads mainly through close contact — directly with the skin or fluids of an infected person, or with contaminated bed linens and other items.

Scientists learned during the 2022 outbreak that mpox can spread even in the absence of symptoms. And the rash may be mistaken for other diseases such as measles or chickenpox, particularly in young children.

Who is getting infected this time?

In the 2022 outbreak, mpox spread globally mainly among gay and bisexual men. Behavioral changes in that community helped to contain the virus, and vaccination at the time, or now, will help protect them.

Until recently, most cases in Congo resulted from consumption of contaminated meat or close contact with infected animals and people. But last year, scientists discovered a new subtype of mpox, Clade Ib, which appears to spread from person to person primarily through heterosexual transmission .

Most cases have been observed in prostitutes, truckers and other transient workers.

“Sex is probably the primary driver, and then the secondary driver is close contact and households,” said Dr. Jay Varma, the chief medical officer at SIGA Technologies, which manufactures tecovirimat, a drug used to treat mpox infection.

As with many other infections, most people with healthy immune systems are unlikely to become severely ill with mpox. Those who have weakened immune systems, including those living with H.I.V., are at highest risk of severe illness and death .

Older adults, who are typically more susceptible to infections, may be at least somewhat protected by their childhood vaccinations for smallpox, which ended in the United States in 1972.

Most of the deaths in Congo have been in children under 15, perhaps because their health may already be compromised by poor medical care, malnutrition and the many other pathogens they face.

Has the outbreak spread to the United States or Europe?

Many countries worldwide, including the United States, have continued to see patients with Clade IIb mpox, the version that caused the 2022 outbreak.

So far this year, there have been about 740 cases of mpox in the United States, more than double the number at this time last year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Just one case of the more severe Clade I infection has been reported in Europe — in Sweden, in a person who had traveled to Africa. Other so-called “imported” cases seem likely. But experts tend to worry more about community transmission.

“I don’t think the risk right now for Americans is high at all, but what this is telling us is that we have to be vigilant,” said Dr. Trish Perl, an infectious disease physician at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

But previous epidemics, including of mpox, illustrate that an uncontrolled outbreak anywhere in the world may eventually turn up everywhere, Dr. Varma said. Since December, the C.D.C. has twice warned clinicians and the general public to remain alert for signs of mpox.

“I really think it’s only a matter of time before North America, Europe, etc., start to see cases,” he said, referring to the deadlier viral subtype. “Unless we invest in disease control everywhere, we’re going to remain always at risk.”

Will the vaccine still protect against mpox?

Two doses of the mpox vaccine Jynneos should protect against all versions of the virus, experts said.

Jynneos, made by Bavarian Nordic, was used in 2022 in the United States and Europe. The vaccine, initially developed against smallpox, should protect against mpox and all other members of that virus family, said Dr. Boghuma Titanji, an infectious diseases physician at Emory University in Atlanta.

Several studies have shown that antibodies prompted by the Jynneos vaccine wane and may be undetectable within a year. But other research has found that two doses effectively prevent severe illness , Dr. Titanji said.

In the United States, however, fewer than one in four people for whom vaccination was recommended got two doses.

“People were less interested in coming back and getting that second dose, or even starting the course of their vaccination,” Dr. Titanji said. “Maybe we will see an increase in uptick in vaccination, and this will serve as a reminder for people to come in and get vaccinated.”

In 2022, the federal government provided the shots at no cost. Jynneos is now commercially available, and some insurance companies may cover the cost.

For some patients, the shots may prove too expensive , Dr. Perl said. If mpox cases were to escalate, the U.S. government may again make the shots available free of charge, according to a federal official with knowledge of the situation.

Is the U.S. prepared for another bout with mpox?

Yes and no.

Scientists learned a lot about the virus in 2022 and have identified vaccines and treatments. But they do not fully understand how the deadlier virus is spreading in Africa, especially among children, or who is most at risk.

“This is very, very crucial when you think about designing a response strategy,” Dr. Titanji said.

There are few resources allocated to fighting sexually transmitted infections in the United States, said David Harvey, the executive director of the National Coalition of STD Directors.

Officials have not solved the problems that hobbled the response in 2022, including poor uptake of the vaccine and “a shockingly underfunded S.T.I. public health system,” Mr. Harvey said.

“Today, we worry about an mpox outbreak,” he added. “We’re already dealing with syphilis, and tomorrow there will be another outbreak of an S.T.I.”
