Under the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Iranian nationals currently in the UAE will be exempt from overstay fines caused by delays in leaving the country.
The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security says the decision applies to both residents and visitors holding any type of entry visa.
The move comes in response to the exceptional regional circumstances, including flight suspensions and airspace closures, which have prevented many from returning home.
The exemption aims to ease the situation for those affected.
