Q: I am on a one-year employment visa overstay. I would like to waive it and change the status because I don't want to exit the country. What should I do?

Q: 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?

Q: Sir, my visa was cancelled and 30 days already finished. Do I have a fine for each day of overstay?

Q: My residence visa was canceled on 23.09.2020 and I'm applying for a 3-month visit visa. They told me to update my residence visa. They said that the system shows my residence visa. How can I do that? Please help me. Thank you for your help.

Q: Dear sir/madam, I have overstay fines of 6800 AED. I am a British national but I overstayed because I had to renew my passport and it took 4 months for the process. What can I do to get these fines waived off?

Q: How to reduce the fines for overstaying in the UAE? Please give me suggestions.

Q: Good day! My question is about the overstay fine for my daughter, who passed away in 2021 and was born in December 2020. Her visa was under my sponsorship and was issued in Dubai. She was cremated in the UAE after her death. We did not know what to do in cases like this at the time, and we still do not. When I checked the ICP website, I saw that she already has a fine. What should I do? Is there a way to request a waiver for the fine, which is currently around AED 7800? Please help us with this matter. Thank you!

Q: Hello everyone, It is a pleasure to send you a question. I hope you can help me with my situation, I need advice about my visa. I requested a reduction of my fines for my overstay, and they sent me a form for my reduction. I checked the status and it is already in the system. They want me to go to Sweihan but I'm scared to go. Is it safe to go there? I have an active status employment visa from my sponsorship now. I was hoping you could help me.

An interview-format article covering the topic of overstaying your tourist or resident visa in the UAE. This is from the legal podcast of lawyer Ludmila Yamalova, the founder of Lawgical with LYLAW. Ludmila discusses the aspects of overstaying, like fines, grace periods, exemptions...etc.

The UAE attracts a large population of expatriates from around the world for business or leisure. It occurs sometimes that those expatriates violate the rules of their visas and incur overstay fines which accumulate the longer they stay beyond their visa's expiry date. This may result in travel restrictions, banning violators from entering the UAE for a certain period or lifetime. The UAE authorities have now announced a two-month scheme for violators to rectify their situations.
