How overstay fines work in the UAE
Since 2023 the UAE charges one daily rate for overstaying on any visa type: AED 50 for each day after your permitted stay ends. This covers residence, work, visit and tourist visas, and applies after the visa expires or is cancelled.
Grace periods depend on the visa type and why it ended, so check yours with the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP), or with GDRFA for Dubai visas. Fines must be paid before you can leave the country or get a new visa.
Where to check and pay the exact fine
- ICP smart services website or the UAEICP app, for visas from Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the northern emirates.
- GDRFA Dubai website or app, or an Amer centre, for Dubai visas.
- ICP call centre: 600 522 222.
