I saw recently a family trying to get their kids through the gates by bringing them in at the same time to avoid queueing at the manned Control. I had to tell them that it wasn’t allowed and that if they didn’t check the kids through at passport control they would be for an interesting time when they next leave the country as the child won’t be registered as having entered the uae. If this is longer than a six month period their residency visas will be automatically cancelled too.
Of course the two locals monitoring the gates were stood behind a pillar playing on phones so didn’t see anything....:
