Your documents will be validated at the check-in counter. If your Rapid PCR is not taken less than 4 hours and your PCR is not less than 48 hours, they will not accept you on the flight.
Once you have landed in Dubai, they will check the PCR report only. And that’s it. If they ask from where you are coming, always mention from the Maldives.
