Is United Arab Emerates on the OFAC list? Can wires be sent there?

UAE is not on the OFAC list and wires may be sent to that Country.

The UAE is not on the List of Blocked Countries.
Nothing to do with OFAC here.

Thanks for the fast response.

Sanctioned Countries from OFAC's website.

Presumably, it would be current.

You have to be careful how you interprut the OFAC list. For example Syria, you can send wires just not to any government official which hopefully would be on the OFAC list. Further for Iran, if a person comes into the bank to send money to Iran you don't have to block those funds. You can simply tell the person it's a sanctioned Country and give them back their money. Now if they came to do a wire to Cuba, you would take the money and put it into a blocked account. And if memory serves me correctly, Zimbabwae (sp) you just can't deal with anything relating to diamonds. So just because you see the Country on this list, doesn't necessarily mean that you can't do any business with that Country.
