Italy is visa free on RTD and I have booked two tickets separately Toronto to Dubai then Dubai to Rome, Italy. Will be changing planes.

The reason for stopover is Dubai is coz my Wife and Kids joining. Will be staying airside, and next flight is with 24hrs window.

my question is is there any concerns with this trip as using RTD. Though first time travelling to with separately bought tickets.

Will be up to airline and UAE if you can board. Your travel itinerary doesn’t make sense so that may be an issue. Your spouse and children could meet your in Italy.

Itinerary should not matter visa-free as long as you have a return or onwards ticket. However, the UAE has passport control even for airside transit and does not accept RTDs.
