The Emirati government announced that the grace period for foreign nationals on expired residence permits to resolve their immigration status has been extended until Dec. 31.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The current penalty for overstay on an expired residence permit is 50 AED (about US$14) per day.
BAL Analysis: The initiative aims to provide foreign nationals with a new opportunity to regularize their status. Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security officials stated they will intensify inspection campaigns targeting violators in collaboration with government partners, taking legal action against individuals found in breach after the extension period ends. BAL will provide further updates as information becomes available.
