Dubai Scraps 10-Day Visit Visa Grace Period for Tourists
Dubai has scrapped the 10-day grace period which was previously granted to visitors whose tourist visas had expired. The same was confirmed by a local travel agent and a Federal Authority ICP agent to Arabian Business.
Under the earlier rules, individuals who stayed beyond the expiration date of their visas were permitted an additional 10 days in Dubai before facing fines.
However, this has now been revoked, and those who overstay their visas will be subject to a daily fine of AED50.
While other emirates had already eliminated the grace period, Dubai was the final emirate to implement the change.
However, individuals can apply for a 30-day extension visa to legally remain in the country, according to a Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) agent.
