It used to be possible the get the card even if one wasn't a UAE resident, but I don't think that's an option anymore.

It's conceivable that there are other card options but probably not convenient for the OP. Look like a trans-Tasman tier run might be your best option.
You get 1 tier mile for every 4 skywards miles earned via the partner, up to 50k total - if it's the ongoing AE card offer.
