Am I missing something, all the information I am reading says Dubai is not accepting non UAE residents even for transit from India(even on Fly Dubai), has this changed ?
Whats app uncle kind of information. Please ignore

No I think this is for those who want to *enter* the UAE, the other news was for those who wanted to transit
If it is what the article says, there is no catch if you want to transit
So if you transit and Canada requires a pcr test from a third country ie Dubai, UAE, where is the test done?

Hello people...I know this question is irrelevant to the current discussion going on. Still I'm looking for some answers. I'm planning on taking albania route. I already have my tickets booked from albania to toronto with Lufthansa. Can I book my first leg to albania with flydubai as it is reduces the overall cost for me. Thanks in advance.

Try and avoid self-transfers as you’ll need to go through passport control in the UAE and that’s not permitted
What do you mean not permitted? Because you need a visa?

The flight is from terminal 3 to terminal 1 which is 5 min walk at Dubai airport. Do you have any link or have you experienced it?
From my point of view, they should allow terminal change with self transfer as it opens multiple options for passanger. Also no guidelines has been released by officials.

Not simply a visa, but I believe only UAE residents with valid permission can enter at this stage
Yes what Dev is saying is right. With an Indian passport, you need to be a resident to enter the UAE. I went to dubai in April and there are free test for all incoming passsengers but that's when you get out from the passport control area.
Avoid self transfer from Dubai.

That's my intention too. No clear directive on that. Emirates airlines clearly said no for this to me as per latest protocols. So AVOID for now

Okay guys. Can we constructively and responsibily discuss routes that are OPEN as of now for Indian passport holders who do not have US or Schenger or UAE residency visa currently.

1) Maldives
2) Mexico
3) Cairo (?)
4) Doha with 10 day quarantine
5) Serbia with 7 day quarantine
6) Albania

Anything else?

Can any good samaritan give us hacks to get cheap tickets? (clearing catche doesnt work)
