The United Arab Emirates’ foreign ministry has said that claims regarding the residency status of Iranians in the Gulf country were “inaccurate,” affirming that the UAE embraces the Iranian community as an integral part of its diverse social fabric, Reuters reports.
Dubai-based airline Emirates has said on its website that Iranian nationals were not allowed to enter or transit the United Arab Emirates, while Flydubai said Iranian nationals holding a UAE “Golden Visa” were exempt and permitted to enter and transit the country.
