I removed my absconding and applied to reduce my overstay fine. Can I get a new visa now without exiting the country?

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for your inquiry.

According to UAE law, if you have overstayed your visa, you will need to pay the overstay fine before you can apply for a new visa.

Once you have paid the fine, you can apply for a new visa without having to exit the country.

However, it is important to note that the approval of your new visa application is subject to the discretion of the immigration authorities.

They may still require you to exit the country and re-enter on a new visa.

Please do not hesitate to reach out for further details.

Regards,
