Q: Hi Sir. Hope you are doing well. I came to Dubai on a visit visa in 2014. I got a job and the owner of the company asked me for money to issue the employment visa. I paid him the amount, but the employer didn't apply for my visa and went to his country. I filed a case against him in the court, but he didn't come to the court after he returned to Dubai. The main problem was that I had given him my original passport, and that's why I didn't exit the country. After 10 months, I went to Al Aweer jail and I took exit without paying overstay fine. I had given fingerprint and eye scan also. Now, I want to come back on partner visa and I want to know if I can come on that visa or not. If you help me on this matter, I will be very thankful to you.

Q: If you are on visit visa and you overstay, will you have a ban or you pay penalties?

Q: Good evening Sir. I have a question regarding my overstay and I have fines already. My visa finish on August 24. Is it possible that I can exit the country without paying fines? I have a ticket where my flight on October 1.
