The UAE has announced a two-month amnesty scheme for residence visa violators, starting from September 1, 2024.
This grace period will allow violators to regularise their visa status or leave the country without facing any fines or legal action.
The initiative has been launched by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security.
It added that the "procedures for implementing this decision will be announced in the near future".
