What happens if I overstay my UAE visa and the fines?

If you overstay your UAE visa, you could face daily fines of AED 200 for the first day and AED 100 for each subsequent day. In my 5 years of living here, I’ve seen many people caught off guard by these penalties. It's crucial to check your visa expiry date and renew it in advance, especially since the fines can add up quickly, leading to further complications with your residency status.
