Overstaying your visa in the UAE is considered a violation of the country's immigration laws, and you can be subject to fines and other penalties. The amount of the overstay fine in the UAE depends on the duration of your overstay and the type of visa you hold. Here are the overstay fines for different types of visas:
Visit visa: AED 200 for the first day of overstay and AED 100 for each subsequent day. After 6 months of continuous overstay, the fine increases to AED 1,000 per month.
Tourist visa: AED 300 for the first day of overstay and AED 100 for each subsequent day. After 6 months of continuous overstay, the fine increases to AED 1,000 per month.
Employment visa: AED 125 for the first day of overstay and AED 25 for each subsequent day. After 6 months of continuous overstay, the fine increases to AED 50 per day.
Residence visa: AED 25 for the first day of overstay and AED 10 for each subsequent day. After 6 months of continuous overstay, the fine increases to AED 100 per day.
It's important to note that overstaying your visa can also lead to other penalties, such as deportation, travel bans, and restrictions on future travel to the UAE. Therefore, it's always recommended to ensure that you have a valid visa and that you leave the country before your visa expires to avoid any fines or other penalties.
