Understanding Overstay Fines in the UAE

Overstaying your visa can have serious consequences. The fines can accumulate quickly. If you remain in the UAE after your visa (visit, tourist, or residence) has expired, you’ll be charged daily fines:

• Tourist/Visit Visa: AED 50 per day

• Residence Visa: AED 50 per day after the 30-day grace period

  
  

Who Can Apply for Overstay Fine Reduction?

You can request a fine reduction if:

• Your overstay fine is above AED 4,000

• You have a valid reason for overstaying (medical issue, legal case, passport hold, job loss, etc.)

• You provide all supporting documents

  
  

Fine reductions are handled on a case-by-case basis by GDRFA or ICP (Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship).

Documents Required for Fine Reduction in UAE

To apply for a fine waiver or reduction, submit the following:

• Passport copy

• Visa copy (expired or active)

• Overstay fine printout

• Sponsor’s Emirates ID (if applicable)

• Supporting documents (medical reports, legal documents, police reports, etc.)

• A letter of request stating the reason for the overstay and reduction
