Emirates OK to Board
What is OK to Board? This is from Emirates Airlines, https://www.emirates.com/ae/english/help/ok-to-board.aspx
Basically, I was trying to approach them to see if I will be accepted to board a booked flight to Zagreb using a multiple entry C visa issued by Romania (I have used it once). Then, I found this link/form which I did not understand its purpose.
I want to know its purpose and whether, by completing this form, would serve my case?
Alternatively, if the aforementioned does not serve my case, what options you recommend to get confirmation from the airline? Note that I have already obtained a written approval, via email, from the Embassy that I can use the visa to visit Zagreb.

From Quora: What does ECR and ECNR mean on an Indian passport, it seems a measure to protect Indian people (and other countries) from being exploited. It happens on some countries, where people passport is taken away from the company one work, so he become nearly a slave.
If you are required to do it (see the condition) you must obey. You are travelling to Europe, so you should have no problem to get the "OK", but anyway Indian authorities want to check. It doesn't matter if you get automatically the OK, if you are required to apply for the "OK to travel" you must comply it.
Note: this is not about Croatia (and so about your visa), but it is about India or Pakistan permission to travel. Without the OK, Emirates cannot board you. ECR stamp is printed by Indian (or Pakistan) authorities.
