Hi everyone,

Not sure if this has been answered, I was trying to find the answer on FT but couldn't.

I am flying QR from SIN-DOH-DXB, then connecting on EK DXB-JFK. The stopover is about 5hrs.
These are 2 separate bookings, with 2 separate PNRs.

I know that I will need a transit/stopover visa which I can apply for online, and need to show proof of the onward flight etc. That is not an issue.

What I can't seem to find an answer for is if I will need to take another PCR/rapid test before boarding my flight to JFK.
I will of course take a PCR test before leaving SIN. Let's say I take the PCR test in SIN 48hrs before my flight. By the time I get to DXB, I would still be within the 72hr (pre-flight covid test) period which the US requires. I'm worried that the check in agents may not recognize my PCR test as it was taken in a different country.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks!
