The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP) has announced the extension of the visa amnesty program for two months, until December 31, 2024.
The visa amnesty program allows those who are staying in the UAE illegally to legalize their status or leave the country without penalties.
According to the ICP, those who continue to violate the rules after the program’s extension will face fines and additional measures, such as deportation and inclusion on “blacklists.” Companies that employ violators risk fines ranging from 100,000 to 1 million dirhams.
