Im in the same dilemma,
my husband has traveled extensively to Dubai but on a visit visa.we have sent all necessary docs attested by the sri lankan foreign ministry and the dubai embassy in colombo,even paid the fees and couriered it to our cousin in u a e,but was told they cant issue a pcc as my husband was never a resident and therefore had no Emirates ID.
I dont know what to do, it really would be a shame if my application got rejected over something like this that is beyond my control. Has anyone overcome this? any input is greatly appreciated!
