Indirect route from India

[ragiii]

And you would expect Feds to go against Public Health Agency recommendation and lift restriction? If they did that, then that would be political stunt. Anyway, it is what it is, skip that crying part and look at other options.

Listen Mr. Knight. If that's what you think, try to give a logical reason behind those decisions.

It is quite good route. Tickets are bit expensive. Please check some VLogs on youtube for prerequisites like hotel booking and all.

Curious, why do you need hotel if there is no quarantine required?

Guys. Why aren't France & Switzerland as popular as others such as Mexico/Maldives? Have people used those routes and faced problems?

I didnt make that decision, and if you have logical reason against that decision, keep it, at least for now.

Abu Dhabi or Amsterdam require visa to change flights for Indian passport holders?

Because you have to tell immigration that where you are going to stay. You have to show your bookings.

If you dont have to collect your luggage and check in again, then you dont need visa. This is possible if the carrier is not changing. Like if you are arriving on Emirates and departing on Emirate. Means same PNR number.

To do PCR test we need to enter the country I believe. Since Maldives provides visa on arrival, we need to book a hotel as a requirement.

Not necessarily even the same carrier, it works even if the flight is on a codeshare basis - for instance one leg Lufthansa and another leg Egyptair , the important thing is the flights being booked on one ticket and one PNR

@DevSB Booked your tickets?

@DevSB Booked your tickets?

Yes, to Egypt , and then onwards to Canada, for the 16th

How Indian students can travel to Canada?

The Indian government has asked the Canadian government to lift the ban of direct flights in July, as there is a huge demand for both-way traffic. India's high commissioner to Ottawa Ajay Bisaria held meetings with the officials from Air India and Air Canada. The diplomatic push resulted in a leeway for Indian students which is inconvenient but a passage to enter Canada. They have to travel to a third country and get tested there as Canada is not accepting Covid-19 molecular test reports from India. They will also have to stay in that third country for 14 days.

There is nothing in official policy which says that students need to be in a third country for 14 days, that would be ludicrous. It simply means that students *may* have to quarantine depending on country regulations (10 days in Qatar, 7 days in Serbia, 14 days in Egypt if you test positive) , all you need is an RT-PCR test from that country
