Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the overstay fine per day in Dubai?
The standard overstay fine is AED 125 per day for the first 6 months, increasing to AED 200 per day thereafter. Fines are subject to the current GDRFA schedule and may change. We calculate the exact amount based on your specific overstay period.
Can I leave the UAE with unpaid fines?
Generally, outstanding fines must be settled before departure. Immigration may stop you at the airport if fines are unpaid. In some cases, voluntary departure processing is available — contact us to assess your specific situation.
Is there an amnesty programme?
The UAE periodically announces amnesty programmes that waive or reduce overstay fines. These are time-limited and announced by GDRFA. Contact us to check if any amnesty is currently active.
How do I regularise my status?
Status regularisation options include: obtaining a new visa through a sponsor, applying for a visit visa extension, or processing voluntary departure. The right option depends on your circumstances — we assess and advise.
What if I cannot afford to pay the full fine?
In some cases, instalment plans or reduced settlements may be possible depending on the circumstances. GDRFA handles these on a case-by-case basis. We can advise on available options and help you make your case.
Will an overstay affect my ability to return to the UAE?
Once fines are fully settled and your departure is processed correctly, you can typically return to the UAE on a new visa. However, a history of overstay may be noted in your immigration record. Settling properly through official channels minimises future complications.
What is an exit permit and when do I need one?
An exit permit (departure clearance) is a GDRFA document required when your visa has expired or been cancelled and you need formal permission to leave the UAE. It is commonly needed after overstay fine settlement, after visa cancellation, or when immigration status is irregular. Amer MBS processes exit permits as part of the overstay settlement workflow.
How long does an exit permit take to process?
Exit permits are typically processed within 1–2 business days after all fines are settled and documents submitted. In some urgent cases, same-day processing may be possible. The exit permit is valid for a limited period — you must depart before it expires.
