Overstay in the UAE: grace period, fine and immigration blacklist

I have unpaid Etisalat bills for 500 AED and a cash advance in DIB, and my visa is already cancelled.

Is there any possibility to exit the UAE without paying for both and for overstay?

GRACE PERIOD

Once the visa has been officially cancelled, a person has a 30-day grace period and must exit the UAE before this expires to avoid fines for illegal overstaying.

OVERSTAY FINE

The fine for the first day is approx. AED 125, and then - a further AED 25 for each subsequent day. There is also a service fee of AED 100 on exiting the country.

IMMIGRATION BLACKLIST FOR OVERSTAY

Also if you fail to leave after the grace period by another 30 days or more, your name could be added to an immigration blacklist.
