Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I have 50 days of overstay fines. I have an air ticket, but my company still has my passport. I want to exit the country, but I don't have money to pay the overstay fines.

Q: Good day, sir or madam, I have an immigration issue. I have overstayed my visa by 9 months. I am a Nigerian national, and I am wondering if it is possible to reduce the overstay period. I would prefer not to take an outpass, as I plan to return to the UAE. Thank you for your time!

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I was working with a company in Abu Dhabi. My visa was canceled on 26-10-2022 and my grace period expired on 26-12-2023. I could not depart the country due to an active case against me. I cleared the court-imposed fine on 26-01-2023 and received a clearance letter. Then I approached immigration to pay my overstay fine to exit the country. But the immigration officer advised me to clear my absconding with the employer first then go to pay or reduce the overstay fines which I'm completely not aware of. Then I approached my employer to give me a NOC or lift the absconding case against me and I agreed to pay any associated charges. But my ex-employer refused to clear my absconding case and told me that they can't do anything in this matter and were advised to take out a pass to exit the country. Based on my above statement, please advise me to remove my case and return to the UAE for future employment opportunities. Kind regards, A. A.
