Residence visa violators will be granted a two-month opportunity to have their fines waived, the UAE authorities confirmed on Thursday.
The grace period, which begins on September 1, will exempt violations from any monetary penalties under the Federal Law on the Entry and Residency of Foreigners.
The Authority will take all necessary steps to carry out this strategy, including suspending fines and legal penalties, allowing violators to either change their status or leave the country easily.
In an announcement, the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP) mentioned the decision intends to offer violators a new opportunity to reclaim their status in line with the law, as a gesture that symbolizes the principles of understanding and acceptance on which the United Arab Emirates is built.
Resident visa rules:
The length of stay of residence permits in the UAE varies depending on the kind and sponsor. Sponsored visas can be valid for either one or two years, while self-sponsored visas can be valid for up to ten years. Those who fail to leave the country or renew their visas before they expire will face fines. These punishments became uniform in 2023. Residents, tourists, and visit visa holders who overstay now pay the amount of Dh50 per day rather than Dh100. Expats who want to renew their visa have a grace period of not less than six months after their resident visa is canceled or expires.
