Is it required to pay overstay fine while the work visa is being processed?
Hi,
I hope you all are doing well. I am concerned about a few things. Currently, I am on my grace period of a visit visa and it will last till the 18th of October. I just got a job and the company has started processing my visa on15th of October with just a job offer letter signed by me.
My question is if I don't get the visa before the 18th, will I have to pay a fine for overstaying? Or because the company started the visa process, it doesn't matter if I got a visa after the 18th, I won't pay any fines?
Please help me!
I need your suggestions. Thank you!
Hi there,
If the work permit visa is not completed before the grace period, yes fines will occur, yet if you are 100% sure of the company you work in, you can agree with them to pay it for you, or go out to Oman or Bahrain to renew your visit.
If you have any queries, please contact me via phone.
