Dubai residency issues with Emirates check-in?
I've been a UAE resident since 2025 and travel frequently to Dubai. Lately, when flying from India to Dubai with Emirates, I've been having issues with the check-in process due to my residency status. They say I need approval from UAE immigration before I can board, which takes around 40 minutes to an hour. This doesn't happen when I enter or exit the UAE through the e-gates. My residency is valid until 2027. Has anyone experienced similar issues or knows what might be causing this? If so, were you able to get it resolved permanently?
