Airline representatives will check for GDRFA approvals and test results, and not travellers’ vaccination status.
Dubai residence visa holders can travel from India to Dubai as long as they have an approval from the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA), in addition to negative Covid test results.
Airline representatives at check-in counters would be checking for these two requirements, and not travellers’ Covid vaccination status.
Travellers must have a negative result of a PCR test taken within 48 hours of departure and a negative Rapid PCR test result taken four hours prior to travel.
As per instructions issued by civil aviation authorities in Dubai, for passengers to disembark in Dubai, only three documents are required. They need to have a GDRFA approval, negative RT-PCR test result taken 48 hours before departure, and a rapid PCR test result from the airport.
A notice to travel agencies and other stakeholders has been issued by Indian carrier Vistara Airlines to this effect.
However, it is not immediately clear if airline representatives would confirm the vaccination status of passengers travelling to Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Ras Al Khaimah airports.
