How the UAE Overstay Fine Works
Since 11 February 2026, the UAE standardised its overstay fine at a flat AED 50 per day, replacing the previous system where amounts varied by visa type and emirate. What still differs by visa category is the grace period — the number of days after expiry before the fine actually starts accruing.
Grace Period by Visa Type
| Visa Type | Grace Period | Fine Starts |
|---|---|---|
| Tourist / Visit Visa | None | The day after expiry |
| Employment / Residence Visa | 30 days | Day 31 after expiry or cancellation |
| Golden Visa / Green Visa / Investor | Up to 180 days | Day 181 after expiry |
Exit Permits for Longer Overstays
If your overstay exceeds roughly 30 days, you will generally need to obtain an exit permit ("out-pass") before you are able to leave the country, in addition to settling your accrued fine. This calculator flags that automatically once your overstay crosses that threshold.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. This is an estimate based on the generally published, unified AED 50/day overstay fine that took effect on 11 February 2026. Your actual outstanding balance is recorded by ICP or GDRFA and should be verified directly on their official portal using your passport details before you pay or travel.
UAE immigration policy gives longer grace periods to categories seen as lower-risk or requiring more transition time. Tourist and visit visas currently have no grace period, standard employment/residence visas get 30 days, and Golden Visa, Green Visa, and investor categories get up to 180 days.
No — the AED 50/day fine accrues continuously with no published cap. It only stops when you exit the country or your status is regularised.
If your overstay exceeds roughly 30 days, you generally need to obtain an exit permit ("out-pass"), which carries its own separate fee, before you are permitted to leave the country. This is in addition to, not instead of, your accrued overstay fine.
UAE authorities have run temporary amnesty or waiver programmes in the past for specific situations (for example, documented flight disruptions), but there is no general, permanent amnesty in place. Always check current ICP/GDRFA announcements rather than assuming a past waiver still applies.
This calculator estimates the fine from your expiry date to today — it does not know about partial payments already made. Check your live balance on the ICP or GDRFA portal, which reflects any payments already applied to your case.
