Thanks and Regards,

Travel document from what country please ?
I send email again
Canada Refugee Travel document
Then he reply me
Dear Guest,
Kindly be informed that only Ordinary passports can be accepted to enter UAE.
How confusing is it that one Etihad Airways official says it is allowed and one says it is not?
If you travel from Etihad Way, please share your experience with me.
Thanks brother

When you are planning to Maldives?
Have a safe journey
Try to buy tickets from their office so that reconfirmation is also done
All the airlines will/have to accept travel documents as per the international law.other travel requirements you have to comply.
As far as I know, people doesn’t require the transit visa to any country unless you are planning to clear the immigration and exit the country ( example as you mentioned you have 14hrs transit and you asked Etihad if you needed transit visa and what they understood is you are clearing the immigration and you will exit the airport so they replied that you can’t travel to uae if you have travel documents).
if your intention is to exit the country then yes you need a visa but if you’re only transiting Abu Dhabi airport via etihad than you don’t need visa to transit.
for your better understanding. If you fly to Maldives via American Airlines/airport then you need USA visa because in USA airport there is no transit facility (you can’t go to another destination without clearing the immigration) but except USA London and some of Europe airports you doesn’t require transit visa.
Above info I have shared based in my experience. Always check with the travel agent before booking your ticket.
