What are the fines for overstaying a UAE visa?

Overstaying a UAE visa incurs fines of AED 100 per day, plus AED 200 for the initial grace period after the visa expiration. I’ve seen friends get caught up in this situation, and the fines can quickly accumulate, so it’s crucial to keep track of your visa expiration date. If you overstay, the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) can also impose a ban on future visa applications. Important: If you realize you might overstay, consult with the GDRFA before your visa expires to explore options!
