What are the fines for overstaying a UAE visa?

Overstaying a UAE visa can incur fines of AED 200 for the first day and AED 100 for each additional day thereafter. While I’ve lived in Dubai for several years, my friend recently faced a hefty fine due to a small oversight. It’s crucial to keep track of your visa expiry date. If you find yourself nearing an overstay situation, contacting the GDRFA immediately can help mitigate your fines. Pro tip: Set reminders for your visa renewal dates to avoid unnecessary charges.
